Churchill had to learn the art of writing. At just 23, his first book, The Malakand Field Force, received both praise and harsh criticism. A brutal review exposed sloppy edits—mistakes unknowingly introduced by his uncle, Moreton Frewen, whom he nicknamed “Mortal Ruin”. Rather than dismiss the critique, Churchill took it as a lesson, revising the work and vowing never to let such errors happen again. That same year, he confidently wrote: "I have faith in my pen... I believe the thoughts I can put on paper will interest & be popular with the public." This self-belief would fuel both his literary and political careers. Yet, even he had moments of doubt. When his mother failed to reply to his letters, his frustration showed: "I am very unhappy at your silence... It makes me pessimistic and forlorn." But soon, he would find validation through his writing and military experiences. In 1898, Colonel Ian Hamilton told him, "You have in you the raw material for several successful careers." Churchill refused to choose just one, blending politics and writing to shape history. His early struggles remind us that resilience, confidence, and learning from criticism are essential to success. ➡️ What do you think was the turning point in Churchill's early career?

Winston and Clementine Churchill’s marriage wasn’t just a union—it was a foundation that supported one of the most consequential leaders in history. Through the immense pressures of political life, the trials of two world wars, and the spotlight of public scrutiny, their relationship stood the test of time. Clementine was more than Winston’s wife; she was his trusted confidante, sharp advisor, and the steady force behind the scenes who guided him through moments of doubt and challenge. Their letters to each other reveal a deep mutual respect and affection, even in the face of disagreements or distance. Clementine’s wit, intellect, and unwavering support complemented Winston Churchill’s larger-than-life personality, creating a partnership that was as dynamic as it was enduring. This Valentine’s Day, we celebrate their extraordinary bond—a timeless reminder that even amidst history’s most turbulent moments, love and devotion can be the anchor that steadies the storm. #WinstonChurchill #ICS #ThinkChurchill #ActionThisDay #Churchillian #Churchill #ValentinesDay #LoveStory"> </a> </div> </div><div class="sbi_item sbi_type_video sbi_new sbi_transition" id="sbi_17869251297223153" data-date="1739449836"> <div class="sbi_photo_wrap"> <a class="sbi_photo" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGA1fIdvScm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" data-full-res="https://scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/479458567_4826115384279478_5208641938946665870_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=QYCi-B6RCKUQ7kNvgGS-ZlO&_nc_oc=AdimozGLFAspVRV4VxWdUOJKncGg82LCDOLjJ87OI5HopiI5GDWjAtZU_slVkSmXH5Q&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&_nc_gid=Aaj2Oo_Y9hxs9BHx4BaBd6z&oh=00_AYALEgp3DcQM4epfhs4WcoI8W_kTncZ5IB2SU3KF8t_tlw&oe=67BC961D" data-img-src-set="{"d":"https:\/\/scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/479458567_4826115384279478_5208641938946665870_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=QYCi-B6RCKUQ7kNvgGS-ZlO&_nc_oc=AdimozGLFAspVRV4VxWdUOJKncGg82LCDOLjJ87OI5HopiI5GDWjAtZU_slVkSmXH5Q&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&_nc_gid=Aaj2Oo_Y9hxs9BHx4BaBd6z&oh=00_AYALEgp3DcQM4epfhs4WcoI8W_kTncZ5IB2SU3KF8t_tlw&oe=67BC961D","150":"https:\/\/scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/479458567_4826115384279478_5208641938946665870_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=QYCi-B6RCKUQ7kNvgGS-ZlO&_nc_oc=AdimozGLFAspVRV4VxWdUOJKncGg82LCDOLjJ87OI5HopiI5GDWjAtZU_slVkSmXH5Q&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&_nc_gid=Aaj2Oo_Y9hxs9BHx4BaBd6z&oh=00_AYALEgp3DcQM4epfhs4WcoI8W_kTncZ5IB2SU3KF8t_tlw&oe=67BC961D","320":"https:\/\/scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/479458567_4826115384279478_5208641938946665870_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=QYCi-B6RCKUQ7kNvgGS-ZlO&_nc_oc=AdimozGLFAspVRV4VxWdUOJKncGg82LCDOLjJ87OI5HopiI5GDWjAtZU_slVkSmXH5Q&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&_nc_gid=Aaj2Oo_Y9hxs9BHx4BaBd6z&oh=00_AYALEgp3DcQM4epfhs4WcoI8W_kTncZ5IB2SU3KF8t_tlw&oe=67BC961D","640":"https:\/\/scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.29350-15\/479458567_4826115384279478_5208641938946665870_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=QYCi-B6RCKUQ7kNvgGS-ZlO&_nc_oc=AdimozGLFAspVRV4VxWdUOJKncGg82LCDOLjJ87OI5HopiI5GDWjAtZU_slVkSmXH5Q&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&_nc_gid=Aaj2Oo_Y9hxs9BHx4BaBd6z&oh=00_AYALEgp3DcQM4epfhs4WcoI8W_kTncZ5IB2SU3KF8t_tlw&oe=67BC961D"}"> <span class="sbi-screenreader">Early Bird Tickets for the 42nd International Chur</span> <svg style="color: rgba(255,255,255,1)" class="svg-inline--fa fa-play fa-w-14 sbi_playbtn" aria-label="Play" aria-hidden="true" data-fa-processed="" data-prefix="fa" data-icon="play" role="presentation" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 448 512"><path fill="currentColor" d="M424.4 214.7L72.4 6.6C43.8-10.3 0 6.1 0 47.9V464c0 37.5 40.7 60.1 72.4 41.3l352-208c31.4-18.5 31.5-64.1 0-82.6z"></path></svg> <img src="https://winstonchurchill.org/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="Early Bird Tickets for the 42nd International Churchill Conference are now available!
