A Little Inspiration

| June 29, 2021

This is Admiral McRaven’s motivational speech.

I hope you appreciate it as much as I do. It applies to all things and all people.  He’s also got a book on the book racks. Well, he has several, but this is titled ‘Make Your Bed’.

Ought to be mandatory viewing for…everyone.

For me it is washing the coffee pot before going to bed.
No matter how bad the day has been I will wake the next day
to a clean coffee pot. A small discipline but one I have
great appreciation for each morning.
I never make my bed.

I see the speech was around four years old.

It was his commencement speech at the University of Texas, 19 May 2014.

Title could also be, “Things your parents should have taught you before you turned 8 years old.” Mine did.

‘beans I not only wash the coffee pot every evening, I load it for the next day’s brew. And, yep, I make the bed too.

AW1Ed

But can you cook?
*grin*

KoB

But of course. I know my way around a kitchen AND a bedroom. I even know what position to leave a toilet seat in. Let Sis know.

You do windows? 😁

KoB

Naw Poe, but my cousin Tom will come by and give them a peep. 😛

My dad told me the drill Sgt. would drop a dime
on the newly made bunk and if it did not bounce he’d rip it
apart and make you start all over.
I suppose today it has gone up to a quarter. Inflation.

Nothing that McRaven would ever say could motivate me. He is a political hack, just like most GO/FO ‘s are .
