Life Journey of George Washington

The life of George Washington actually followed the three phases above. In the lives of many, all three phases are not so constrained clear and distinguishable firmly; often there are slices. In the life of Washington, this third phase occurs in a strict sequence, exactly.


Either you go to school in the United States or anywhere else, the story of a young George Washington cutting down a cherry tree you must know. This story makes Washington as having an aura of sanctity that makes us mortals feel inadequate because we are not proportional to the ability of the pure seeds of greatness that has been implanted in the heart of this great son. Actually, according to historians, this is just a fairy tale invented by a priest to cultivate insight into children who attend school weeks, in order for them to be honest. The true story of a man named George Washington is a different story.

The life story of George Washington showed a man who grew into an icon of a con man who eventually manifest into true greatness and altruistic. Although we come into contact with the human side washinton life story, our admiration is not faded. Instead, we get to understand how great the reputation of Mr. America. As Abraham Lincoln said about Washington, "Adding light to the sun or compliment on behalf of Washington's impossible."

Phase one: George hungry

Setbacks destiny

When Washington was 11 years old, his father died. Both of his half brother, Lawrence and Augustine, inherited most of the wealth of their father. Both also received the best education in the UK. George teenagers, who do not have wealth and adequate formal education, decided to leave traces on the world stage.

When George was 16 years old, Lawrence invited to stay together at Mount Vernon. Lawrence, then aged 30, was already a Major militia (citizen soldiers) Virginia and served as a member of House Of Burgesses, the government body of the colony. He has been married to a member of the richest family in the area. The young George really liked luxury lifestyle Lawrence. Washington was proud of his brother and merawa that he also deserves the things that her brother had-nobility status, incredible wealth, and vast land. Virginia in the life of the eighteenth century, nothing is more valuable than the status, the thing that makes people jealous.

George Young presents itself as mature. While living in Mount Vernon and enjoy life as a prominent status in the small town of Virginia, his young mind was busy drawing a roadmap to live rich and designing the future so that he can continue to live in a way as it is now, in a way that he quickly get used to.

Collect symbols of success

In this young age George was obsessed with the idea of ​​being a "royalty" true. Even early on he began collecting "symbols" of nobility.

Being royalty, one must have a job that nobility: In the era of Washington became a land surveyor is an important and prestigious positions, equivalent to a doctor or a priest. In 1749, at age 17, George passed the exam and officially served as a land surveyor.

Nobleman must have the land-the more, the better: Because it works as a surveyor, George got a big salary. At the age of 20 years George has had an area of ​​2,008 acres of land in the most fertile areas. As a surveyor, of course he could choose the best land.

Not all the land of Washington obtained in an honest way. In the early days of the French and Indian war, to persuade the invaders want to fight, the governor of Virginia promised land for the lowly soldiers. This offer does not apply to the officers, who as a lord to be serviced by the governor.

At the end of the French-Indian War for eight years, came a new governor who does not quite understand the details of the agreement the old governor. George and fellow officers conspired and managed to change the old covenant which donated the land for the lowly soldiers into grants to officers.

With a cheap ploy highly detrimental to the people he led, Washington received an additional 20,000 acres of land very fertile.

Nobleman noblewoman must have: At the age of 27, George married someone who really deserves to be a noblewoman: Martha Curtis, women aged 28 years who incidentally is the richest widow in Virginia. Because it has the money and position, he holds the prestige that always George hurry. George received as a result of this marriage of true nobility status.

Nobleman must have friends nobility: Accompanied by wife nobility, Washington began entertaining the neighbors in Mount Vernon. He hosted lavish parties, invite people who can promote himself and realize his ambition. He constantly hunting for any opportunity to get in touch with the rich, famous, and powerful.

A nobleman should have a political and social position: Following the steps of his brother, Lawrence, George munuju House of Burgesses. On the first occasion he lost on election day because he did not serve liquor paa voters, according habit. On both occasions, he made sure that the bar actually have excess inventory and opened free to all voters. Like magic, these efforts succeeded; he was elected to the Virginia colony government agency officials.

A nobleman should be wearing a red jacket: Washington served in the Virginia militia with the rank of Major and akirnya promoted to Commander. However, the rank of Commander in the Virginia militia is nothing compared to a British officer-the epitome of a true aristocrat. Throughout his life George greatly covet positions in the British armed forces.

The only military education Washington just read two books the art of war and, in his spare time, following the fencing lesson. Should never follow the formal military training, he ceaselessly wants to wear a striking red coats of British officers.

After repeatedly applying, and many times also rejected, Washington discard the idea of ​​being British officers in the belief that he was discriminated against because she is a resident of the colony. Obsessive desire to be an officer UK plays an important role shaping his destiny.

Character flaw Washington

In the first phase of his life, Wasington totally ignorant on various personality defects himself.

Haughtiness: When Washington gets its first military service in 1754 during the French-Indian war, he thinks that this is the best chance to be recognized by the "competent authorities". Washington established the Fort Necessity in Great Meadow, Ohio Forks. In the first storms, floods make George and his subordinates stuck knee-deep mud and water, so he was forced to hand over the fortress and succumbed to the French.

Washington signed a delivery agreement document written in French. Because it is not so familiar with French, he does not know that he has signed a guilty plea that, in the previous war, he had killed a French diplomat after diplomat gave him and detained.

The document shows the events triggered by an Indian chief who, while fighting for the British and help Washington, arrested without warning with the French prisoners and beat the head of the diplomat with his tomahawk.

To answer the charges and also write the actual explanation, Washington must admit that he did not understand French. Because French is the epitome of an English nobleman true in the future (ie able to speak and write fluently in French), he does not want to admit ignorance.

Habits like meyalahkan others: It is clear that Washington's first opportunity to be recognized as a great commander has been destroyed. In his defense, he immediately meyalahkan officer he appointed to be penerjamah because of bad translation. Of course, because Washington himself could not read French, then he is not entitled to appoint French translator. He then blamed his superiors who had sent him to war in Forks.

Throughout life, the current situation does not occur according to his view, Washington will blame others. Currently in failure and adversity, he always felt victimized and betrayed.

Haus recognition: At the age of 20 years, Washinton drive towards Williamburg to hear the opinion of the Guberbur Dinwiddie. There he asked that assigned to the Virginia militia with the rank of Major. For a man with no military training, his request was impossible, and he ditolaklah. Finally the rank of major awarded to George when he was assigned to defend the southern part of Virginia that is peaceful and most strategic.

Even so, his rank was not obtained by his work. Rank was given because of his relationship with Lord Thomas Fairfax respected, which is calculated according to the family of the marriage track. Furthermore, the Governor Dinwiddie is a business partner of George's brother, Lawrence. Therefore, the regiment is nothing at one eye on George. Even though the junior officers would not comply.

The second phase: despair

In 1775 Washington represented Virginia in the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. The focus of his discussion is taxation without representation and the British occupation.

Washington will not come to the meeting without bringing his own agenda. He was the only delegate who dress the heroic military generals - which he designed and sew their own, with striking insignia and other trinkets.

It is said that before people can admit you match play the role you want to play in life, first of all you have to dress like that role, bertingka behavior, and be part of that role. Washington now saw an opportunity to fulfill the deepest desires. He thinks that if the members of Congress see it in uniform, they will see it as someone who fits into the Army Commander Continental Congress.

As had been predicted by Washington, the delegation saw that is the person they need .. He is young enough (forty-three); he experienced the war (lost-many); he sided with the political wing of the right-soldier from Virginia when Congress needs to persuade the colonies in the South to join in the war of independence; and he also has had its own uniform.

Historians call Washington a great actor, outstanding seller. He sold all reliable early and vision. After all, a seller is always a great actor.

Future fears

George rushed to Boston, bring the official letter that gave him authority over the Continental Army which was formed in haste. Throughout his life Washinton always hungry for recognition from Congress. Now reality has he achieved. When he saw himself with a very honest, he sees a tobacco farmer, who know how to grow quality tobacco. However, facing the soldiers are well trained and professional, he must admit to himself that he knew very little about the art of war.

Arriving in Boston, fears the worst happens. While he hopes to see the soldiers a great revolution, ready to liberate America, he just get a bunch of innocent farmers and disheveled, trained farming and animal husbandry, not to kill people in war. He was very desperate. Imagine how could he herded sheep group is disembeli by the British army trained and professional soldiers in the world's greatest conqueror?
Inability mirror

British troops sailed to New York to fight against the army of Washington. Battle in New York memerlihatkan that fear actually proven. Military training that he can (two books he had read) proved inadequate. Highly trained soldiers who are easy prey for the British soldiers who are very well trained. After tasting their first real war - blood, wounds, cries of death mostly soldiers fled Washington.

Washington entered a period of depression. He did not see himself as a general, but the false generals. Defeat on the battlefield is the mirror defeat that he felt within himself as he seeks to become a great man. Now nobody suspects that he could blame. He used to always get a suitable scapegoat; here, in the greatest defeat, he was completely alone.


War with the generals

In addition to that problem, he is also forced to fight on two fronts; one against England and another against the generals themselves. Because most of the generals in the army trained and has been serving in the British army, they thought that the star of this village must sneakthief and fool-herding cows just can not be, let alone a group of distinguished military tactician like them. They conspired to get rid of it by way of secretly giving a bad report to Congress requesting he be replaced immediately; while at the same time they will outright refuse orders and denied at every turn.

Despair

At the end of 1776 the situation became so helpless and without hope that Washington should consider the possibility of escape to the west to hide. In a letter to his cousin, he wrote, "I find it impossible to remain on duty with honor. I have never been happier at this since I was born. "In a letter to his younger brother, Jack, he was even more honest and forthright," I think this game is almost done. "

The third phase: destiny clearly see

Beat the devil inside

Even more terrible for Washington than to lose or die is the shadow that he had to accept the fact he was a nobody, nothing, human fake. Throughout his life he has been struggling to prove to himself and others that he is a great man and worthy of respect. Now the self-reflection mirror looking at him; the pain of defeat forced him to stare at herself for long, sharp.

He realized that if people want to be respected, people should respect themselves first. He must be a man who has the identity is more than just trinkets and lelambang he collected in order to be respected. Before Washington could defeat Britain, he must defeat the demons in his own mind. Before his victory over the world, he must defeat himself.

Tracing into

In December 1776, Washington had major problems. Future task of the army was gone, and they were getting ready to go home. So far, he does not get anything other than a defeat. In desperation, George Washington, the man, given in on itself to ask George Washington, the soul.

For fear of losing the reputation he had built throughout his life, Washington immersed in grief in the recesses of his soul. In this condition withdraws his mind stopped racing, and unmoved. He became detached and, in these circumstances, to understand the true meaning of honor and recognition.

The two are completely unrelated to the symbols he had collected, such as stately homes, land, and social and political status. Both are simply related to the fact whether the man willing to offer God-fulfilling tasks and roles given by the Creator in his life.

George discovered axiom inner perfection

By identifying his own soul, Washington then know God. He saw that the blind and persistent efforts to become a respectable nobility comes from feeling imperfect in him.

George knew that he would not win the war when he was fighting for the wrong reasons. The things that had been so important-reputation, status, department kingdom is not important than the ability to read French. From here, he could menjankau horizon to the distant future, and he saw that the role entrusted to him is enormous, even until death is the price too low.

Once he managed to remove the burden of arrogance, her thoughts were sharp. Every cell of the body and the mind together with the guidance of his soul to win, for reasons noble. Now he can fight well because this is the task of fighting given by God. Destiny is to win the war for noble young republic was struggling to be born at the edge of the continent called America.

As the change of the inner state of Washington, changed also the fate of the American Revolution. On Christmas Eve frozen in 1776, Washington alone change the course of American history.

Turning point

With twenty-four, he crossed the Delaware River in the middle of a snow storm, setting up a sneak attack. Battle cry is, "Dead or Win". He and his men firmly berkeputusan reverse the situation of war or death struggle.

Christmas Eve is the beginning of change defeat into victory. Contrary to the rules of traditional warfare, he uses deceptive tactics, Washington and his men arrived at 03.00 am the enemy camp. Enemy, mercenaries were sleeping after a wild party and get drunk, do not idle. They lost absolute.


The birth of a true leader

In April 1781, the British attacked the Virginia and directing their guns home to Washington at Mount Vernon. Thomas Jefferson, then governor of Virginia, told Washington that home and memersiapkan resistance for the sake of the house and land. While sitting dikemahnya in the Hudson River, Washington refused. He was not excited anymore with small victories. He knows that the most important point where military operations are now, to the north. The goal is to win the war, not a battle.

Washington actually been negligence on his property at Mount Vernon. He has discarded identitifikasi himself with his favorite possessions in Virginia; he is no longer the Virginia. Washington now is the determinant of human destiny, the citizens of the American republic, the future of the country he fought for independence unconditionally.

Fighting between the army of the revolution Washington with the United Kingdom is a war that tested the endurance of both reaching the highest limit. If you want to win, Washington knows that it must go beyond the limits of British war lust. Washington understands that he can not win against an enemy that is superior to this in the battlefield, he knew that he had to beat them in a way to withstand adversity longer and bigger than they desire.

Washington and his American revolutionary soldiers keep their spirits up with the most important battle of the American Revolution-three-week siege at Yorktown-and that's where the British army surrendered, subject to the desire, the will and purpose of the colony residents who are superior.



Receive destiny

On March 15, 1783, he was at headquarters, eager to prepare a speech that is strong enough to stop the civil war. The generals do not want to give up the victory and power of the Continental Congress who do not do anything other than tricking them throughout the war.

Now the generals, with a loaded rifle, intending stormed Congress to demand payment. They intend to create a kind of dictatorial government and the states of Washington as king. George Washington, the first human being entirely driven by lust grab nobility status and become a British officer, is now a chance to be king, together with George the Third. But Washington who were dead inside the new Washington.

In front of the people, Washington stands read the speech he had prepared carefully, also a letter he recently received from Congress, which once again promised to pay their wages. After reading the conclusions, he look into their eyes and see that they had not also believe. Strength, persuasion, passion, and the words he had to say to the people during the winter freeze, starve, and bloody wars in the past have failed to win.

The air was so heavy and congested. A crowd of soldiers getting close, all eyes staring at him. Washington stopped. He then did a remarkable thing. Slowly he took his glasses from his coat pocket. The people are never seen wearing glasses; they were surprised to see the symbol of fragility within their unbeaten leader.

Washington looked up and said, "Gentlemen, I'm sorry about this spectacle. I do not just grow older during the service; I now own almost blind. "With these few words, he touched their hearts and made the eyes of the soldiers as hard as rock and perpengalaman was crying. Glasses that symbolizes how Washington had given all things-youth, life, prosperity-by-fight win; betray their noble to struggle with rash action also means betraying Washington who have given everything.

At that time, when he showed his vision and sacrifice his life for the revolution, he warned the people about the price they have paid for the sake of the ideals of the republic. Republic is greater than the Congress who do not pay them. Her movements also reminded the people how they jointly participate in the establishment of the new nation and that it was not the right time to leave their fate. By rejecting status as king, Washington received a divine destiny in history.

Historians regard this event as a political show remarkable. This is the time of George Washington, the man, together with his destiny became Father of the Nation. Most people think that Washington has unblemished character. We saw this, he was just the same as everyone else blameless and had a load of the same feeling. However, after rejecting his own desire, character defects, learning from the trials and tribulation of life, he eventually turned into human destiny Butler modifier.
