Winston Churchill: "I never stood when you could sit"

Somehow Winston Churchill asked how he managed to achieve such an old age with such an intense political career. He replied: "I never stood when you could sit, and never sat when you could lie."

Winston Churchill was born in the middle of the Bala, who gave the Duke of Malboro. Lady Churchill, who was in the seventh month of pregnancy, suddenly began to fight. She was taken to one of the nearest rooms, which, on the occasion of the Ball, was turned into a ladies' dressing room. Here, among the piles of female outerwear, and one of the most influential people of the 20th century was born.

They say that children born "sevenway" are distinguished by outstanding abilities. However, Churchill's childhood refuted these stereotypes. Winston with difficulty got science: especially mathematics, which he hated until the end of his life.
From the very beginning, Winston discovered the utmost unwillingness to learn how all children learn. He possessed magnificent memory, but absorbed easily and quickly just what he was interested. Everything he did not like, he categorically did not want to teach.

Subsequently, Winston himself recognized that he was to the extreme to the poor student. Having unbelieving the numbers from the very first days of study, he never reconciled with mathematics. Winston could not endure classic languages \u200b\u200band for many years of study learned from Latin and Greek only alphabet, and it was not very firmly. But he loved English and knew him well. Churchill's father wished to see his lawyer. But the problems of the Son in school cooled his parental ambitions. He began to orient Winston to a less intelligent military career. True, the future policy and there was a fall here: he managed to fail twice exams in a military school. Only for the third time, after a serious protection of influential family relatives, he was enrolled in the cavalry school.

In 1895, Churchill began his military career by Lieutenant of the Hussar Regiment. He participated in the suppression of Sikh Upber in North-West India, fought in Sudan. At the same time, he begins to write military reports and publish in London newspapers. During the Anglo-Borsk War, 1899-1902 was the Milning Post's Military Correspondent in South Africa and for its activities, was not long imprisoned in Pretoria prison. Many British newspapers wrote about this, and Winston received the first experience of popularity.

His ambitions grew up, and in 1900 he puts forward his candidacy from the conservative party to parliament and wins in elections. It was the first serious rise in his life. True, the irrepressible Winston could not get along among the conservatives: Sometimes his statements were in a context with the policies of the party. In the end, in 1904 he left the conservative stand and moved to liberals.
It is from the Liberal Party of Churchill who is elected in the next parliamentary elections and receives the first serious position - deputy. Minister of Colonies. For a very short term, Churchill has shown himself as an energetic junior minister, very efficient and initiative. One of the approximate king Edward VII wrote Churchill on August 15, 1906: "His Majesty is pleased to note that you become a reliable minister and, moreover, a serious politician, which can be achieved only if you put the interests of the state above the party Considerations. "

In May 1907, the official recognition of the merit of Churchill followed. He was made by a secret adviser, which was not often happening with the leaders at the age of 32, who served as deputy. Minister. Now, speaking in parliament, his colleagues should have been addressed to him as a "Honor Gentleman."
In 1911, Churchill became the first Lord Admiralty, heading the British fleet in the First World War. Its main achievement was the creation of the Royal Air Force Britain. In January 1919, Winston Churchill is appointed by the Military Minister and the Minister of Aviation; In 1921, the Minister of Colonies.
But the main rise in Winston Churchill began on May 10, 1940, when he first took the post of Prime Minister (remained in office until July 1945). Years when Churchill headed the British government and represented his country in the anti-Hitler coalition, were its greatest achievement as a statesman, they were the highest point of Winston Churchill's political career.

The position of the prime minister, he combined with the post of defense minister, which was taken to lead all military actions. But after the Triumph in World War II, he was awaited by a hurt fall: his conservative party, in which he returned back in the 20s, shiftingly loses elections at the end of May 1945. In July of the same year, an outstanding politician leaves the Premier Chair.
In 1951, after the next elections, Churchill returned the post of Prime Minister again. However, age has already made itself felt: he no longer had such an acute political alone, as before. In the conservative party began to grow discontent with the ineffective management of Winston Churchill, and in April 1955 he decides to leave politics forever.
And after 9 years, he left life. Britain arranged Churchill a grandiose farewell ceremony, which lasted a few days and ended with the burial of the remains of politics in the genital cemetery of the old parish church in Blank, where his father and mother were buried at one time.

It is confident that this is not a secret and everyone knows and understand. Unfortunately, not all do it.

This secret is continuous development.

You can not stand in one place and wait for the lot of earthly and heavenly.

Even a bunch of phrases, proverbs, the quotes came up with people relating to this subject.

"Under the underlying stone water does not flow," "Under the sedentary, the dollar will not slip," "Do not expect the weather by the Sea", "the actions do not always bring happiness, but without actions there is no happiness," "is better than Clear, but forward."

This principle / secret concerns any person, any field of activity.

In order not to turn your life in a standing swamp, you need to move.

No one asks to jump out of the pants, although this is sometimes useful. Just need to move. Develop.

In profession, life, hobby, family. Always and in everything.

No matter who you work, it is important to constantly improve your professional skills.

For example, I will tell about my friend.

She is a hairdresser-makeup artist. Learned, started working. But after several years, never at any courses, seminars, etc. She did not go.

What came out of this? I think you guess. Surely no one wants to go to the master who cuts and makes makeup on the basis of their knowledge of the peas obtained in Tsar.Truth? So her client base has declined noticeably.

The world does not stand still. Time is now coming, so what is there, runs, with inexorable speed.

And if you want to be successful in life, it is simply necessary to improve itself. As a person and as a professional. All the time to study the subject of interest or profession, be aware of news / new products. The main thing is striving and go to becoming a professional in his business. And in his life.

To help you many information on the Internet, books, seminars, trainings. All you need to succeed is to take steps towards him.

I know you can!

Even if you are a blogger.

For myself I can answer. I am writing plans for how and what I need to improve the blog. What should I learn what to pay attention to when working. The difference in my first post and last, in my opinion is colossal. During the blogging, I studied to the extent that Adobe Photoshop is needed. Constantly reading books about beauty, make-up. I adore books about cosmetology. I know how our skin is arranged, its layers, cells. Regularly engage in the technical part of the blog. I arrange contests, flash drives. Now fond of learning how it is right and beautiful to take photos.

So in any activity. Stop - death is like.

Do not stand still! Develop! Be successful!

Do not expect the weather by the sea. Act ... stir ... do not lose a single day ... Do not postpone anything tomorrow, make a conceived today ... perhaps today your day, and then you will find what I dreamed about.

I always followed the rule: do not run if you can stand; Do not stand if you can sit; Do not sit if you can lie.
...
The politician should be able to predict what will happen tomorrow, a week later, in a month and a year. And then explain why this did not happen.
...
A clever person does not make all the mistakes itself - he gives a chance and others.
...
I thought I would die from old age. But when Russia, feeding all of Europe with bread, began to buy grain, I realized that I would die from laughter.
...
For the nation there is no longer-term investment than feeding small children with milk, food and education.
Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill / Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill / (1874-1965)

Not so long ago he listened to audiobook about this amazing person. Until now, under the impression. His long and bright life is worthy of study. It is a pity that now such people practically left ...
State Worker, Historian, Memoirist, who has headed the country (1940-1945) and thanks to this, who took one of the central places in the New History of Great Britain. Churchill is considered one of the most significant political figures of the United Kingdom of the twentieth century. He was awarded also in 1953 by the Nobel Prize in Literature, although it was no secret to anyone that he would prefer the Peace Prize.
Winston Churchill lived an extremely rich and long life (November 30, 1874 - January 24, 1965). 90 years - the age of a long-lived, but the traditional portraits of Churchill are widely known: unchanged cigar, double chin, sprawling a figure. In addition, the addiction to the Armenian brandy, the habit of working at night and the desire to move as little as possible. In short, this is a typical portrait of a person who has a lifestyle that is not compatible with our submissions about longevity and reliable health. Nevertheless, there was something that contributed to life for 90 years. What?

It is interesting to figure out. But it is very difficult, as Churchill, one of the most revered people of the UK, is so unique that it is almost impossible to analyze some features of its whole and complex nature that could be analyzed from the standpoint of juvenust or gerontology.
So, Winston Churchill's father was the third son of the Seventh Duke Malboro. In addition to the royal family in England, there were no more than twenty families of royal blood and among them Malboro was considered the tires on seniority.

In the photo: Churchill Mother Jenny Jerome (1854 - 1921), which was considered one of the most beautiful women of his time, with sons: Senior Winston and Junior Jack

it was her upbringing that formed Sir Winston and as a policy, and as a writer
The newborn, although it was born with seven, was very energetic. Winston Ros, essentially not knowing his parents (they devoted themselves to secular life), and more and more tied to Nian - Miss Everest, which he loved. Subsequently, already being a major statesman, Churchill kept the portrait of a nanny in his office.

Churchill grew strong, but not very beautiful child, the boy had serious speech defects: he stuttered and whispered. At the same time, he was a terrible chatter and said without ceasing, since he learned to say words. Winnie (so called him even in old age) was distinguished by excessive self-confidence and stubbornness. These qualities were intensified as the boy smasted.
From the small age, Churchill discovered the utmost unwillingness to learn how all children learn. He possessed magnificent memory, but absorbed very easily and quickly just what he was interested.

All that Winston did not like, he categorically did not want to teach. Subsequently, he himself recognized that he was to the extreme to a bad student. Non-love figures from the very first days of study, he never reconciled with mathematics. He could not tolerate the classic languages \u200b\u200band for many years he learned from Greek and Latin only the alphabet, and it was not very firm.

At seven years he was given in the closed, a fashionable preparatory school in Ascot. Winston, who has already shown his extraordinary stubbornness, discovered the utmost unwillingness to reckon with the stringent regulations of the discipline, which were planted with great diligence as educators. In those times the most sturring strokes once a week and, of course, Winston did not slow down to get his portion of rogue. For him it was a big shock. For many years, he retained hatred for school and the educator who is overlap.

He had a strong and his health and him, on the advice of doctors, was translated several times from one educational institution to another. In schools, he was one of the worst student, he was considered blunt and unable, but biographers converge on what is explained by him only with its limitless stubbornness.

Winston's failures at school deeply disappeared their parents, because with such studies it was difficult to dream of a serious career.

Winston himself decided to be a military and began to prepare for exams in the well-known English military school Sandcherst, where he did only with the third time, in August 1893. Before that, he fell from the tree, he got a heavy concussion of the brain, did not come into consciousness for three days and only after three months began to rise from bed. For health recovery, it took a year.

So, Winston's knowledge was enough only to enroll in the cavalry school where he felt at last well. Here his mind did not particularly bother with hated objects. True, he read a lot of books in military business. Great pleasure delivered him classes on the raid ride, the love of horses he retained for life.

However, from the first days of staying in the school, it became clear that the routine service in the army with a slow and consistent passage of all steps of the military career was not for him. His nature did not take slow move forward. Churchill was an extremely ambitious man, he was not entitled to achieve an influence and power as soon as possible. Unceremoniously wrapped the rivals with elbows, without hiding what he considers them below himself, he wondered for himself a lot of enemies.

Winston dreamed of hostilities, but there was nothing similar on the horizon. In 1895, the civil war on Cuba finally began, and the friends of the parents organized something with each other something like a business trip - he was instructed to find out the quality of new Spanish bullets. Going to Cuba, he settled the military correspondent to Dail Chart. Money has always played an important role for him. He began to narrow the state before seriously became politics. In Cuba, Churchill was addicted to Havana cigar and took over the habit of rest in bed among the day he adhered to all his life. In addition, he possessed a happy gift to fall asleep immediately as he touched the pillow, and used this habit every day. Therefore, having rested during the day, could work late. In humorous form, Churchill promoted the idea of \u200b\u200bdaytime sleep among his colleagues, but, as his memoirs testify, I found little followers. Perhaps it should be noted that he was trying to imitate President John Kennedy for whom Churchill was just a giant figure worthy of all kinds of admiration. Kennedy adopted this habit of Churchill - about an hour to spend in bed - and strictly followed it.

In the spring of 1896, his regiment was sent to India. There was an accident with him - he dislocated the right shoulder. Subsequently, the injury often reminded himself, and Churchill could use the right hand very limited. Free from service and sports, he devoted mainly to reading. He suddenly realized that because of the narrowness of the character was very bad education, and at least some minimum of knowledge were needed for the implementation of ambitious designs.

Mother I am pleased to send him from England Parcel of sending with the works of Plato and Schopenhauer, Maltus and Darwin. He later recalled that 4-5 hours a day read books on history and philosophy. Diligence, great performance, the ability to concentrate attention and will on solving a selected task - all this allowed him to be in intellectual terms with people who had university education.

Especially interested in Churchill history, and from historians he was influenced by the influence of Gibbon, a pompous, high-footer and majestic syllable of which had a strongest influence on the formation of the style of his letter. Note that Churchill's literary style is considered reference in modern England.

Even the most benevolent biographers Churchill converge on the fact that ambition was the main stimulus of his activities.

For his sake he refused many pleasures.

All his life, Churchill adhered to the belief that the story was made by outstanding personality, heroes. From this parcel, he proceeded in politics, and when working on his numerous books. He believed that fate intended him an outstanding role. Practically since 1900, when he was chosen to parliament from the Conservative Party, he did not go with the political Arena of England.

Churchill was a magnificent speaker, especially in adulthood. He always spoke better than wrote. His speeches were strong not so much depth of thought and logic as an emotional impact on the listeners. True, it cost him great effort. First of all, it was necessary to overcome speech defects, he could not get rid of his life from one of them - he did not argone the letter "C".

In the English parliament, reading speeches on a piece of paper was considered a bad tone, so Churchill had to memorize several variants of speeches by heart. He always wrote his speeches himself. Moreover, he did it with great pleasure, discovering the greatest diligence and hard work.

Without showing a lot of interest in anyone, nor to secular entertainment, he was all given the work, constantly read something or wrote. Contemporaries remember that he worked even at a party using every free minute.

On August 15, 1908, a message appeared about his engagement with a 23-year-old Clementina Hosze from a famous aristocratic family. She was beautiful, educated, knew several languages, possessed a subtle mind and a sense of humor, had a living interest in politics. There can be no doubt that on both sides it was a marriage for love. Churchill's biographers celebrate that he was often lucky in life, but most lucky with marriage. Churchill somehow admitted: "I married in September 1908 and lived happily since then." By this, he is largely obliged by the mind and Trache Clementine. Churchill's character was extremely difficult, and she had to be fine, although she never showed it. Clementine did not try to curb her husband, correct his shortcomings or improving his character, as it would do less a smart woman in her place. She did not grumble, did not fit to Winston. She took him as he was, and managed to make herself necessary for him and in the hour of failure, and at the time of great success. They did not spend a lot of time together: for this he was too busy. Clementine never impose his opinion to him, but very often in the rooms there was a snubeer: "Clems!". This meant that he wanted to ask his wife about something, consult her.

The departments of the house lay entirely on her shoulders, and she did it so that Churchill was pleased and nothing annoyed him. Once Clementina Churchill gave a group of girls to the Council, how they should handle their husbands. "Never," she said, "don't forced her husband to agree with you." You will achieve more if you can safely adhere to your beliefs. And even it is necessary to do tactful. " This is the absolute rule of happy and long family life.

Clementine was a faithful assistant to her husband. She always actively participated in the conduct of election campaigns and, if necessary, successfully advocated voters. She got a difficult role in life, but, undoubtedly, she played her with dignity and charm, she died at the age of 92. Spouses have lived happily together for 56 years.
More details about the family life of Churchill

Four Churchill had four children - three girls and son, and the weekend, they usually spent the whole family outside the city, in Charter. Winston always loved to play with children - there was a lot of boyish in him.

In addition, Churchill showed interest in the economy - himself folded the long wall and cottage, made a heated pool, spread fish in a pond, pigs. He loved to ride. Engaged in painting.

Later, when Churchill was elected Prime Minister (1940) and a great contribution to the victory over Germany made him a national hero, the routine of his life has changed somewhat.

Usually on Friday, in the afternoon, he left London to the official suburban residence of the Prime Minister, in Checker, where first of all took the bath. Biographers say that he really loved to swim. Oaky, Churchill put on something like a jumpsuit with numerous zippers, specially invented. He went out in this costume to dinner, at all as much as dressed guests.

After dinner, he was removed for a few minutes to his room and soon appeared before the guests in the bright Eastern coat, in which the film was usually watched. Churchill loved the movies very much. After the end of the session, he went upwards, caused secretaries and was often able to three or four o'clock in the morning. It is characteristic that, despite the huge load, Churchill at that time felt like never cheerful and healthy, had a wonderful appetite, looked in 67 years older than the war. He always strictly adhered to his day mode. Even during the war, there was a categorical order of Churchill not to wake it before 8 hours. The exception was allowed only in the case of landing of Germans in England. Usually he woke up about 8 hours and, lying in bed, read newspapers, telegrams and other urgent materials.

Throughout its political life, Winston Churchill has always rushing. When he was asked why he was in such a hurry, why he could not try to achieve the result in everything immediately, he answered that he was not hoping to live in the light of his father longer, but he had more. It turned out, however, so that Winston lived exactly twice as long as his father. Somehow Churchill asked how he managed to achieve such an old age with such an intense, rich business and events of life. He replied: "I never stood when you could sit, and never sat when you could lie." Throwing the comic aphoricity of this statement, it can be noted that we are talking about relaxation, the benefit of which is unanimously proclaimed by all Eastern long-livers. Maybe it follows to this statement seriously?

Churchill wrote that fear and hatred relate to the number of worst qualities of human nature. He himself was, undoubtedly, a very brave person - both in front-line conditions and in numerous political battles. "War," Churchill said, "this is a game that you need to lead with a smile on the face."

After the policy, the favorite occupation for him was literary work. In 1923-1931, he wrote a sixtime capital study "World Crisis". In 1933, he began writing another sixtime labor - "Life of Malboro" dedicated to his ancestor, the first John Churchill, who posted the beginning of the Herkes of Malboro. Very few authors in the twentieth century earned more money with their books than Churchill. The result of his literary activity was the Nobel Prize (1953) -Prazhde for the "history of the Second World War" in six volumes.

Churchill worked quickly and productively. He knew how to concentrate his unique abilities and extensive memory on something one thing, which was engaged in this minute, forgetting about everything else.

The last time he was elected prime minister in 1951 and he remained in this post until 1955 (he was 81). In June 1953, on the 79th year of life, after a stroke, he was paralyzed the left side of the body. But, having a huge margin of vitality, Churchill managed to recover from the strike, the life functions of the left side of the body were recovered, and in October he had already opposed the public.

So, what of this amazing biography can we attribute to the undoubted factors of longevity? We draw attention to the fact that Winston Churchill was not as if there were no prerequisites for such a long life: his father died at 46 years old, there were no long-livers among relatives. In addition, he was born with seven, did not differ in perfect health, he did not pass, like almost any person, injuries. Therefore, the causes of longevity should be sought in his personal properties, in approaching life.

In gerontology there is a direction in which longevity is explained by the mental qualities of man. As for Churchill, we can talk about the maximum implementation of the potential opportunities laid from the birth. The powerful energy obtained by them from nature was burning in a smooth strong flame.

Essentially, all his life, his nature demanded the exit of this rapid energy, and he gave her a way out - he always did only what he wanted and what was the vocation - history and politics. No life temptations (alcohol, women, entertainment) did not interest him. He considered it a waste of time.

He never kicked in himself. When he was asked how he manages to avoid reflection, he answered: "I have no time to study myself - I work."

Ambigid did not allow him to worry about because of small flaws. He all his life, for example, overcame speech defects, but did not suffer from this occasion about this. But, as a rule, from any of its shortcomings, even fictional, a person creates a niche for himself, where he is caught fire from such an incomprehensible, and therefore a terrible external world.

One of the undisputed terms of longevity is a happy marriage. Churchill was surprisingly lucky with his wife, who preferred this very selfish and unbridled character and did everything with love - as I would like this to him. It seemed extremely interesting life with him.

Winston Churchill married almost at 34 years old. The geonstologists are recognized that the late marriage of men can be attributed to the factors of longevity. Abkhaz long-livers, for example, married an average of 35 years. "The longer you refrain from sexual life, the longer you are a man," they say. Confirmation of their directions can be observed in America, where the peak of the sexual revolution passed 20-25 years ago and where millions of men aged 40-50 years suffer from impotence.

It should be noted the ability of Churchill to relax. In a circle of his beloved family, he was engaged in his favorite business - painting, brickwork, cared for pigs. But his most amazing feature is intensive mental work at maximum relaxation. As already mentioned, the centuries-old traditions of Eastern health systems are sent precisely on training to relaxation, for it is believed that only in this state is correctly circulating vital energy in us. Perhaps Churchill found his adaptable relaxation method adapted to modern European conditions. No less important is its ability to instantly fall asleep and the value that he attached to sleep. Many disputes are usually carried out about the afternoon sleep. But any physiologist is known since experiences I.P. Pavlova, that digestion of food is the most difficult process for the body, requiring special physiological conditions. It is known that any external tension - exercise or mental work - violates it. Therefore, nature provides such an easy way to protect-rest after meals. "Lunch with a dream gold," says the proverb. By the way, all Abkhaz long-livers sleep after lunch.

Now we are more clear to us why such an extraordinary person like Winston Churchill, who did not want to speak "healthy lifestyle" now, became a long-liver. Favorable circumstances, character, luck, intuition made it possible for him that it is quite rare to people, - most fully implemented by nature, intended for the fate.

Be Winston Churchill.

For Churchill, the routine of the day was holy - only the British Prime Minister could work effectively. Abundant vapor, bathing and long-term meals were bye not celebrating habits, but absolutely necessary routine, which allowed Churchill to function at the peak of his mental abilities. Forget about a useful breakfast and charging - Churchill knew a much more efficient recipe for productivity.

When another unknown journalist and writer Paul Johnson asked Winston Churchill, in which the secret of his success, the politician answered that, above all, in the preservation of energy. "Never stand if you can sit, never sit if you can lie down," so briefly Churchill described the rule that a large part of conscious life adhered to without exaggeration. For the legendary British prime minister, one of the greatest figures in the country's history, a certain image was entrenched: a fat man with a glass in hand and with a cigar in the teeth. About the eccentric sacks and habits of Churchill was well known and the public, and its nearest surroundings, including employees. The politician of his preferences did not deny, moreover, it sought to match the image in every way.

The performance and productivity of Churchill were incredibly high. In addition to the conduct of state cases, he found a time for writing and even won the Nobel Prize in Literature, bypassing Hemingway in 1953. In addition, politician paid a clock to his beloved hobby - drawing. In all her life, he created more than 500 caved. And all this - without separation from the main affairs, the labor of his life, politicians. Of course, during the war years, the duties of the Prime Minister were talked almost all the time. Churchill sought to work so that, in his words, to fit two or at least one and a half business days in one day. And he managed it, not least, thanks to the schedule, which he developed himself for himself.

The Day of Churchill began usually in the area of \u200b\u200b7:30 - 8 in the morning. He absorbed breakfast, which, as a rule, from toast, jama and eggs, without leaving bed, then read the morning press and correspondence. For Winston, a special wooden stand was built so that he could write with convenience and read in the middleside position. At the same time, he gave orders to his secretaries who were accustomed to see the boss every morning in a bathrobe. At about 11 o'clock in the morning, Churchill finally rose from the bed and took his first portion of whiskey with soda. Sometimes he walked around the garden in the hospital, sometimes he was engaged in historical works, during the war years - attended the meetings and meetings of the government.

By noon, it was necessary to be ready for a bath - it was there on Churchill often condescene inspiration. He picked up speech secretaries through a closed door, messy in warm water. At the same time, the Minister Shaved. In the hour of the day they served lunch. It was not only meal, which lasted about two hours and consisting of three dishes, but also socialization. The family went down to dinner, several guests often came. The gathered offered wines, and Churchill himself preferred champagne, his favorite brand was Paul Roger. Usually he kept one bottle next to his own glass to pour as needed. Someone calculated that for all his life Churchill devastated about 42 thousand bottles of adorable Paul Roger.

About the ability to drink legends to drink the policy, and not in vain. The administration of President Franklin Roosevelt, for example, invented the turnover of "Winston's Watches", implying the time that Churchill spent with the head of their state. Roosevelt, being not so persistent drinking, surrendered to the British Prime Minister. After "Winston's Watch" he needed three days to fumble at 10 o'clock at night - an unprecedented luxury for the president.

Churchill and alcohol were good friends for many years: when 25-year-old Winston sent to light the Anglo-Board War as a correspondent in 1899, he took with him for the advanced 36 bottles of wine, 18 bottles of Scotch Whiskey and 6 bottles of vintage brandy . Later, Churchill got a personal office where she kept his supplies: a huge number of whiskey, burgundy and port. Winners Vointed Winston: His account to one of them in 1936 made an amount equivalent to 75 thousand dollars today. He himself said that he took away from alcohol much more than that - he had.

Well, to special addictions in food, Churchill adored soup. To dinner or for dinner in his house, it was necessary to serve this dish. One of the favorites was a turtle soup - not such a rarity in those years as now. Heinz even released it in tin cans. The politician did not endure cream soup due to difficulties with their digestion, because the cook avoided any creamy first dishes. Another weakness of Churchill was a broth, the cup of which he certainly drank before bedtime, even if he had just ate tight dinner in a refined restaurant.

Lunch ended in the area 15-15: 30, after which Churchill either returned to his office to work, or played cards with his wife Clementina. The most important part of the day was about 17 hours when the politician was put to sleep. Sleep in the middle of the day was vital: he helped crash one long day for two more funeral and gave Churchill the charge of strength and energy to continue their work in the evening. Winston referred to this process with all seriousness: I have definitely lay down in bed, removing all the clothes. Dream lasted one and a half or two hours. He allegedly acquired this habit in Cuba during the years of work by a journalist.

Waking up at 18:30, Churchill took the second day the bath and dressed in dinner, which started at about 20:00. It was the most important meal of food, accompanied by long conversations at the table, the relief and smokers. For dinner, the Minister was again served champagne, the rest of the guests are white and red wine of the highest quality. Churchill certainly smoked his cigar at the table (the habit from which his mother, Jenny Churchill, tried to wean son).

Frequently, Winston with guests and his family was sitting at midnight, after which the politician returned to his office to still work. Thanks to the daily sleep, he could sit at the desk until 3-4 nights, and only then went to bed in bed to wake up at 7:30 and repeat the same usual and beloved routine. The schedule and routine not only helped Churchill to keep productivity at a high level, but also had to help maintain his mental health: As you know, the politician suffered from depression, which was called "black dog".
