Few suggestions that may help you on your way to a better world

Speech by Admiral McRaven

These lessons where learned during my times in the military, I can assure you that it matters not whether you ever served a day in uniform. It matters not your gender, your ethnic or religious background, your orientation or your social status.

Our struggle in this world are similar and the lesson to overcome those struggle and to move forward changing ourselves and changing the world around us will apply equally to all.

Here are some lessons I learnt in basic seal training that hopefully will be of value to you has you move forward in life.

Every morning in seal training. my instructor, who at the time where all Vietnam veterans will show up in my bedroom. We where required to make our bed to perfection. That seems ridiculous at the time particularly in the light of the fact that we where inspiring to be real warriors, tough battle harden seals. But the wisdom of this simple act has been proven to me many times over.

If you make your bed every morning, you would have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another and by the end of the day that one task completed will have turned into many task completed.

Making your bed will also re-enforce the fact that the little things in life matters and if you cant do the little things right, you will never be able to do the big things right and 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. So if you want to change the world, start up by making your bed.

You cant change the world alone. you will need some help. And the truly gift from your stating point to your destination takes friends, colleagues, the good will of strangers and a strong councilor to guide you. So if you want to change the world, find someone to help you paddle. 

Nothing mattered but your will to succeed. not your color, not your ethnic background, not your education, not your social status. If you want to change the world, measure a person by the size of their heart and not by the size of their flippers.

If i have learned anything in my years of traveling the world. It is the power of hope. The power of one person (Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela). One person can change the world by giving people hope.

__Start the day with a task completed __Find someone to help you through life

__Respect everyone.

__Life is not always Rossy. Move forward

__Don't be afraid to fail often

__Take risk

__Step up when times are toughest

__Never give up

__Procrastinations don't count

If you do these things, the next generation and the generation that follows will live in a world far better than the one we have today and what started here will indeed have changed the world for the better.
