Never ever give up

I had the privilege of being at an event with a number of Olympians and Paralympians for 21st Century Legacy yesterday.

The message that came across time and time again was to have a dream, to know where you want to go, to be aware of your strengths and weaknesses, to realise that you always have a choice in what to do next, and to never, ever, ever give up.

As Winston Churchill famously said,

"Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."
