Motivational Post
As an ASVAB tutor, I enjoy reading the stories of inspirational military men and women. Today I present information about retired U.S. Navy Admiral William McRaven. He was the Navy SEAL Commander of Special Operations. Admiral McRaven gave a commencement address at the University of Texas at Austin in 2014. The speech went viral across the internet. Due to its immense popularity, he wrote a book to elaborate on his speech. His book is entitled, Make Your Bed. This book was a #1 New York Times Bestseller.
It is about the little things that can change your life and maybe the world.
Some quotes from his book include the following:
If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
If by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made, that you made, and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.
If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
Find someone to help you paddle.
Don’t back down from the sharks.
Start singing when you are up to your neck in mud.
My recommendation is to read Admiral Mc Raven’s book. The book, Make Your Bed, is a quick read and is filled with inspiration from a man who faced many obstacles and challenges in his life.
