There's anaphora, which is repetition at the beginning of a sentence. Winston Churchill-- "We shall fight them in the air, we shall fight them on the landing fields." There's tricolon, which is repetition in short triplicate.Abraham Lincoln-- "government of the people, by the people, for the people." There's something called epizeuxis, which is the same word repeated over and over and over again.
I repeat this all the time. Winston Churchill, he's one of my most inspirational phrases that I ever heard, that success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.And if you apply this to your life, shit.
They're very nervous, they've been very much shaken. Winston Churchill's trying to rally them around British people.They're wondering, "When are the Germans going to invade with forces?" Who's the other country left fighting?
But let me recap a bit. Winston is a former US Marine and served in Afghanistan and Senegal.And he's now spending a year walking 5000 miles around Southeast Asia beginning and ending in Singapore.
So let's welcome Winston . Winston : All right thank you.I actually have my mic. >>Lee: Please stand here.
I actually have my mic. >>Lee: Please stand here. Winston : Great. Can everybody not here hear me?Okay, thank you, good, thumbs-up.
And then B) does your phone last all day in terms of battery life? Winston : I have a second battery, but it actually does.It'll make it, but the only reason it does is because I take breaks and I charge it while I take a break.

Audinne: Oh >>Ming: Oh they don't? Winston : Yeah it's only creative products.No they don't even, you can't, you can't even have like a percentage of what you raise on kickstarter go to a nonprofit.
Ming: I see. Male # 2: A question in Tokyo. Winston : All right. Male # 2: Tokyo, so you obviously, I missed the beginning of how long you've been on the road but I assume traveling overland by foot across Southeast Asia you've either learnedsome lessons about the people or yourself or something else.
Any interesting stories from the road? Winston : Interesting stories. Male # 2: Lessons learned, insights.Winston : Yeah, the dogs in Thailand are pretty bad.
Winston : Interesting stories. Male # 2: Lessons learned, insights.Winston : Yeah, the dogs in Thailand are pretty bad.There's so many strays and it's the first thing that comes to mind as something out of the blue.
Nothing comes to mind as far as like >>Joyce: Talk about the guy in Vietnam that you saw. Winston : Yeah, that was, that would definitely be the most heartfelt thing that happened, what Joyce is bringing up.It was kinda like one of those moments where all of the stars aligned where I was heading, I was in northern Vietnam heading towards the Chinese border.

this one we had like I said Ernie Hudson on and he was great you know he's the the ghostb the black Ghostbuster and uh Winston zamore Jr you're welcome and uh and he he was we had him we put himthrough the ringer like he was in a hot operating room for 14 hours with a break
This is a new century. Here are my two greatest heroes, alright. Winston Churchill is my hero because in May of 1940 in Britain's darkest hour when Francewas on the verge of collapse. When the United States was uninvolved in the war, and had not even begun Lend-Lease. When the soviets had signed a pact with Germany
They know they're going to kind of make their protest in Parliament Square. And Winston Churchill was the home secretary. Actually, recruited a lot of policemen from the East End who are used to dealing with violent thugs.
And the idea is he needs to essentially stress test these devices that are used to, for example, for Franklin Roosevelt to communicate with Winston Churchill. And so Turing is sent to the United States. Funny enough, there's enough suspicion that his paperwork is actually not cleared, and he gets held up in immigrations and customs for a little while.
But she could hire the telegraph and the railroad to get the job done. And Winston Churchill could hire a airplane to get it done. And now, our leaders can hire DHL.
And he's now spending a year walking 5000 miles around Southeast Asia beginning and ending in Singapore. And Winston is about halfway on this trip and now, and he already has been to Talen, Laos, Kenan, China, Hong Kong and now in Taiwan. So we're very excited that he is visiting Taiwan.
So once I finished that, he sent it off to editors, and I ended up interviewing with editors. I went with Gail Winston , who is really wonderful and very experienced, has been in the writing world forever. So then I-- once the book was sold, I said, All right, Gail, what do I do?
They made one-- well, they made a few records, but they made one record that topped "New York Times" new record list. And they were from Winston -Salem. And that was really inspiring to me to see that they could actually get out of town.
And the commandant there, again, had heard this story about Peter Churchill, who she claimed they were in a relationship, and the fact that he was Winston 's relative, so he thought he had kind of hostage gold on his hands, and when the Allied forces were closing in, he took Odette in his car with the plan to hand her over as a bargaining chip, essentially, to the Americans.
and necklaces and all kinds of stuff Diamond 62 karat crazy stuff she wanted nuts and Winston or Harry Winston Sho that into four different diamonds when she finally died and it was sold to him um so she seduced LaVine got him to agree to be the the third passenger on
Because that's the flip side. You can have Winston Smith wanting to be able to sit in his room and not be watched in 1984, which is a desire that he cannot satisfy. There's also a just brute force technical writing element to it, I find.
