“It  is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to
succeed in doing what  is necessary." - Winston Churchill

Does this mean that we shouldn't try to do our best?  Does this mean that it doesn't matter what we do?  I think it means that at a certain point we must either achieve the goal or not achieve it.  There does come a final deadline.

What do you think it means?  Does it mean the same things to you or does it mean something else?  Leave a comment to share your opinion.

In my own opinion, I believe strongly that this particular article is highly agreeable to Clinton Kessay's comment about changing the system. This relates back to my tribe and how our system works with inherently bad acts that causes our tribe to suffer. I come from the Northern Arapaho tribe in Wyoming and all the things that's talked about for White Mountain Apaches are the same things our tribe is going through. Nepotism and favoritism happens in our council that causes my tribe to suffer. Most of us are low on education but continue to try and lead the rest of us in blindness. I would try to change the system by coming back after being educated and help my tribe follow the way the system works in the white mans world.
