Admiral William H. McRaven (U.S. Navy Retired) served with great distinction in the Navy. In his thirty-seven years as a Navy SEAL, he commanded at every level. As a Four-Star Admiral, his final assignment was as Commander of all U.S. Special Operations Forces. He is now Chancellor of the University of Texas System.
BASED ON THE INCREDIBLE GRADUATION SPEECH WITH OVER 10 MILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE
If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better.
Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments.
##很短小的一本書,十個小主題,有點雞湯,但是也還挺好讀(可能有時候就是需要讀一些這樣的小故事)。作者真的好厲害~~喜歡具備這些品質的人~
評分##有次聽朋友們提起同名的演講,我問作者誰。她們說是William McRaven, 有點難以置信。William McRaven, 美國海豹突擊隊第一指揮官,美軍特種作戰部隊總司令,在2011年擊斃本.拉登行動中任特彆行動總指揮官.....居然寫瞭書,名叫Make Your Bed (鋪床)[疑問] 非常簡短的一碗雞湯...
評分##聽書。" You shouldn't expect life to be fair and reasonable. The ridiculous thing to do would be to waste time by refusing to accept life's challenges. Instead, you need to pick yourself up and march forward."
評分##下午花瞭兩個小時認真讀完瞭,瞭解瞭一些海豹突擊隊的訓練情況,非常佩服這些鐵人(身體和精神上都是巨人)。確實有幾處說到心坎裏瞭,但是這些雞湯書講的道理都差不多,不是很驚艷,但是基本值迴書價。
評分 評分##海豹雞湯,其實很不錯的,很小一本書賣18有點坑。大概是UT的演講的expansion,有一些有意思的新內容。去mountain的路上聽完瞭
評分##在Spotify上聽的。說實話,軍人的筆觸很難受到感觸,全部聽完之後沒有留下什麼記憶點。
評分##start each day with a task comoleted
評分##心有多大,舞颱就有多大。 1.啓示,麵對失敗時一定要做好心理準備,因為失敗時而不是麵對失敗的本身,而是帶來一係列的後果。 2.走齣失敗,惡性循環,打破這循環的障礙。一點一點的進步和突破,守得雲開見月明。 小事做起(細節) 強人內心(不屈) 正視失敗(麵對) 冒險精...
