Winston Churchill

Many of you may know him. He was one of the most influential leaders in history. He was regarded as a great wartime leaders and he served as British prime minister twice. To date, he was the only British prime minister to have received the nobel prize.

He had many famous quotes, such as:

- We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

- A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

- To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.

- The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.

But there is 1 more quote that he said but you may never heard before, it was

"If I had my way I would write the word ‘Insure‘ upon the door of every cottage and upon the blotting book of every public man, because I am convinced for sacrifices which are inconceivably small, families and estates can be protected against catastrophes which would otherwise smash them up forever. It is our duty to arrest the ghastly waste, not merely of human happiness, but of national health and strength, which follows when, through the death of a breadwinner, the frail boat in which the family are embarked, founders, and women and children of estates are left to struggle in the dark waters of a friendless world".

Since his time, he already knew how important insurance is. He would want to insure everyone if he could do it. But no, he could not do it alone. You have to take charge and plan for yourself, plan for your family.

The sad truth is since his time until today, not much has changed. I have seen people lost their home, their car, their saving and everything, because tragedy struck. I have seen people begging for help and money. It's all because they were never adequately covered.

Of course the world will still move on. People will move on. People will survive, because survival is basic instinct of creature. But why do you want yourself and your loved ones to survive with so much struggle, so much debt and so much financial problem?

People always think that bad thing will never happen to them, it will only happen to other people. But the sad truth is that it does happen and not always to 'someone else'. This truth is incontrovertible.

Cheers! Have a great day.
