[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1332151, member: 1246"] Commencement Speech by Navy Seal..... Via BPR Admiral William McRaven, a 36-year veteran Navy SEAL and commander of the forces that killed Osama bin Laden, delivered a rousing commencement speech Thursday to graduates at his alma mater, the University of Texas at Austin. In urging students to find the courage to change the world, McRaven shared these 10 life lessons, as seen in the video below: 1. If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. 2. If you want to change the world, find someone to help you paddle. 3. If you want to change the world, measure a person by the size of their heart, not the size of their flippers. 4. If you want to change the world get over being a sugar cookie and keep moving forward. 5. If you want to change the world, don’t be afraid of the circuses. 6. If you want to change the world sometimes you have to slide down the obstacle head first. 7. If you want to change the world, don’t back down from the sharks. 8. If you want to change the world, you must be your very best in the darkest moment. 9. If you want to change the world, start singing when you’re up to your neck in mud. 10. If you want to change the world don’t ever, ever ring the bell. For each lesson, McRaven offered a narrative of how it applied to him. The most poignant explanation came just before No. 10, when he said: Finally, in SEAL training there is a bell, a brass bell that hangs in the center of the compound for all the students to see. All you have to do to quit is ring the bell. Ring the bell and you no longer have to wake up at 5 o’clock. Ring the bell and you no longer have to do the freezing cold swims. Ring the bell and you no longer have to do the runs, the obstacle course, the PT — and you no longer have to endure the hardships of training. Just ring the bell. If you want to change the world don’t ever, ever ring the bell. [/QUOTE]
