0:00.0	Sir Winston Churchill's famous speech to his people during World War II, we shall never surrender,
0:08.7	has been used, and perhaps some people might say overused, as an example of fortitude,
0:15.5	as an example of perseverance, as an example of tenacity, and the importance of that tenacity, the importance
0:23.2	of that perseverance, the importance of never giving up. We shall never, never surrender, became
0:31.3	more than just a motto for the Brits during World War II. It was more than just a rallying cry. We shall never surrender,
0:42.8	gave encouragement, and motivation to a discouraged people. But there is a kind of surrender
