A story that talks about success, diligence and intelligence, and you must learn from that story of perseverance and starting from scratch and never despair, but be patient. To continue to achieve their dream and succeed, and there are those who despair and turn away from his dream. That is why our story today is about Harry Wayne.

Then he turns into the biggest businessman and we will know how he did this and how he worked hard to achieve his dream and his story moved from a failure story to success stories told by the whole world.

Britain and its Monarchy
Britain and its monarchy Information for overseas friends Modern people will not like this and in fact the ultra-woke will be outraged and deplore it but from the time that the last ice age retreated, until about 1950, Britain was a warrior nation, A people where many thrived on physical conflict. A nation forged by almost continuous warfare, who ended up good at war. The heritage of the ruling kings, and queen; the whole system of governance by divine right, was based on war. The original stone age settlers have left evidence of violence, the later iron age Celtic tribes are known to have fought each other and then the invading Romans, Saxons and Nordic people. For a very long time what we call Britain was several kingdoms who fought each other unless there was a greater danger from invaders when they formed loose alliances to fight against these invaders. A largely Saxon Britain (actually a mixture of all the races who had lived and fought over the land) was taken over by the Normans- William the conqueror. The Normans had to fight to establish total control, various civil wars followed and during the Tudor reigns, the fighting became international. (Henry 8th breaking up the power of the Roman Catholic church, Elizabeth the 1st being relativity tolerant of a variety of Christian teachings etc.) Then came conflict between the king and the powerful lords who curbed the absolute power of the king in 12.15 ( Magna Carter) Power gradually ebbed away from the kings until the biggest civil war so far; between forces loyal to the king and those serving “Parliament.” This led to a brief period when Britain was in effect, a republic. Dissatisfaction with the way we were governed set in and the king was invited back with the power to impose their own ideas hugely curtailed. Gradually all real power was transferred to the Parliament and its elected government but the head of state had to be someone above party politics and the kings and queens who followed fitted nicely into this role. All of this history led eventually to the Victorian period and by then forging a nation who accepted warfare, was complete. A nation who held certain principles to be so important they would kill to uphold them. As with all nations, as the general population became more materialist and relatively wealthy, the attraction of warfare as a means of social progress eroded. The invention of machines that could kill from a distance totally ended even the pretence of chivalry in warfare and so Britain gradually lost its warrior mentality.

No Stranger to Danger
In this-- my fifth year since retiring—I sometimes get asked if I would like to assist in projects being undertaken by my former employer. I’m torn in that some new adventures and very good wages would be welcomed, but I am now 65 and not as spry as I once was, and frankly I doubt if my wife would let me. She has become the 'Idiot Light' that shines bright when I’m about to do something reckless, and she has my history to look back on to help drive the point home for me. This tale is one of those past experiences.
