Admiral William H. McRaven was the commencement speaker at the University of Texas at Austin for the graduating class of 2014. His well-crafted, poignant, down-to-earth speech was about finding the courage to change the world. I firmly believe we each change the world everyday in a million and one big and small ways . The ninth commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, Admiral McRaven uses his experience in Navy SEAL training as a metaphor for how to become a person that can positively impact the world and those around us; by living our truth, facing adversity and never giving up. This is 19minutes and 27seconds you won’t want to miss.
“Start each day with a task completed.
Find someone to help you through life.
Respect everyone.
Know that life is not fair and that you will fail often, but if take you take some risks, step up when the times are toughest, face down the bullies, lift up the downtrodden and never, ever give up…you will change the world“
Don’t ring that bell…no matter the size of the challenge. You are worth it.
