 On Tuesday, 16th April, 1889, Charles Chaplin Sr., a popular and versatile vocalist and Hannah Chaplin, an attractive actress and singer, welcomed the birth of baby Charles Spencer in London, England. Little Charles never enjoyed parental love as he was barely two years old when his parents separated. He lived with his mother who no longer had any proper means of income. Apart from the dressmaking and nursing gigs, his estranged father provided no financial support. As the family condition deteriorated, Charles was sent to the Lambeth Workhouse, where he went to the district school for paupers and another institution for destitute children. Later in 1898, after Charles' mother developed a psychosis seemingly brought on by an infection of syphilis and mild nutrition, he was sent to live with his father, who was by then a severe alcoholic. Charles was faced with a sad life and cruelty that provoked a visit from the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Charles' father died in 1900 from cirrhosis of the liver, living the barely 11-year-old boy by himself. Charles had to live on his own for several days, searching for food every day, occasionally sleeping rough and engaging in all sorts of odd jobs, all the while watching his mother's mental illness come and go without being able to do anything to help her. This lifestyle motivated the boy to thirst for success. However, his story began to change for good from the age of 12 when he made his action debut in a legitimate state show where he appeared as Billy the Page Boy. From there, he started a career as a comedian in vaudeville, which eventually took him to the United States. In 1914, he made his first film debut in a movie called Make a Living and later featured in The Little Tramp and Kid Altar Races at Venus in 1914. Charles soon became so popular and over the next year, he already appeared in 35 movies. Before his death in the early morning hours of December 25, 1977 at age 88, Charles had become a very famous and wealthy actor, movie producer and director. Here's the thing, at one point in your life you'll hate your life. You might lose your loved one, get a serious disease or you'll get hooked in poverty. When such a time comes to you, the only weapon you have is your resolution to succeed. Abraham Lincoln said and I quote, Always bear in mind that your resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing. You have to resolve to succeed. You have to be willing to fight forward. You have to decide never to give up on yourself because it's only when you persist you can ever win the battle of life. Winston S. Churchill said and I quote, Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. Even though he never enjoyed what it meant to have two parents around, Charles Spencer decided to move on. Even though his mother was sick, he decided to move on. Even though almost everything that could be wrong was wrong with him, he decided never to lose his enthusiasm. Don't lose your enthusiasm. Don't lose faith in yourself. Don't stop believing in your future. If you like this video, watch other videos from our channel. We love you.
