This is an ebook about how to deal with life. Every person has its rules for living and I have read several book about rules so it is always interesting to see/read the different points of view from very different people.
This case is from a USA Seal and Admiral. Actually, I watched this video before buying the book. And hits your.
1- Start your day with a task completed: Make your bed to perfection. If you can’t make the little things right, you will never be able to do the big things right.
2- You can’t go it alone: You can’t paddle the boat (life) alone. Find someone to share your life with (struggling with this), make as many friends as possible (idem) and never forget that your success depends on others.
3- It’s not the size of your flippers that count, just the size of your heart matters: There is more in life that physical attributes.
4- Life is not fair, deal with it: The common people and the great men and women are all defined by how they deal with the life’s unfairness.
5- Failure can make you stronger: True leaders must learn from their failures, use the lessons to motivate themselves and not be afraid to try again or make the next tough decision (You will always make it to the Circus at some point)
6- You must date greatly: Without pushing your limits, without occasionally sliding down the rope headfirst, without daring greatly, you will never know what you are truly capable for.
7- Stand up to the bullies: Courage is within all of us. Dig deep.
8- Rise to the occasion: If you want to change the world, be your very best in the darkest moments.
9- Give people hope: If you want to change the world, start singing when you are up to your neck in mud. Like this. Lift up those around you and give them hope that tomorrow will be a better day.
10- Never, ever quit: This is the summary for all the above. If you refuse to give up on your dreams, stand tall and strong against the odds, then life will be what you make of it.
