“Life is a struggle and the potential for failure is ever present, but those who live in fear of failure, or hardship, or embarrassment will never achieve their potential. Without pushing your limits, without occasionally sliding down the rope headfirst, without daring greatly, you will never know what is truly possible in your life.” ― William H. McRaven

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What starts here changes the world.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I have a few suggestions that may help you on
your way to a better world. And while these lessons
were learned during my time 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 struggles in this world are similar, and the lessons
(00:28):
to overcome those struggles and to move forward, changing ourselves
and changing the world around us will apply equally to all.
So here are the ten lessons I learned from basic
seal training that hopefully will be of value to you
as you move forward in life. Every morning in seal training,
(00:50):
my instructors, who at the time were all Vietnam veterans,
would show up in my baristroom, and the first thing
they do is inspect my bed. If you did it right,
the corners would be square, the covers would be pulled tight,
the pillow center just under the headboard, and the extra
blanket folded neatly at the foot of the rack. It
was a simple task, mundane at best, but every morning
(01:13):
we were required to make our bed to perfection. It
seemed a little ridiculous at the time, particularly in light
of the fact that we were aspiring to be real warriors, tough,
battle hardened seals. But the wisdom of this simple act
has been proven to me many times over.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
If you make your bed every morning, you will have.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
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 tasks completed. Making your bed
will also reinforce the fact that the little things in
life matter. If you can't do the little things right,
(01:56):
you'll never be able to do the big things right.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
And if chances you have a miserable.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
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 off by making your bed. During
(02:23):
steal training the students. During training, the students are all
broken down.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Into boat cruise.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Each crew is seven students, three on each side of
a small rubber boat and one cox and to help
guide the dinghy. Every day, your boat crew forms up
on the beach and is instructed to get through the
surf zone and paddle several miles down the coast. In
the winter, the surf off San Diego can get to
be eight to ten feet high, and it is exceedingly
difficult to paddle through the plunging surf unless everyone digs in.
(02:53):
Every paddle must be synchronized to the stroke count of
the coxin. Everyone must exert equal effort or the boat
will turn against the wave and be unceremoniously dumped back
on the beach. For the boat to make it to
its destination, everyone must paddle. You can't change the world alone.
You will need some help, and to truly get from
(03:15):
your starting point to your destination takes friends, colleagues, the
goodwill of strangers, and a strong cox and to guide you.
If you want to change the world, find someone to
help you paddle. Over a few weeks of difficult training,
my seal class, which started with one hundred and fifty men,
was down to just forty two. There were now six
(03:36):
boat crews of seven men each. I was in the
boat with the tall guys, but the best boat crew
we had was made up of the little guys.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
The Munchkin crew we called them. No one was over
five foot five.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
The Munchkin boat crew had one American Indian, one African American,
one Polish American, one Greek American, one Italian American, and
two tough kids from the Midwest. They out paddled, out ran,
and outswam all the other boat crews. The big men
and the other boat crews would always make good natured
fun of the tiny little flippers the Munchkins put on
(04:14):
their tiny little feet prior to every swim. But somehow
these little guys from every corner of the nation in
the world always had the last laugh, swinging faster than
everyone and reaching the shore long before the rest of US.
Seal training was a great equalizer. Nothing mattered but your
will to succeed, not your color, not your ethnic background,
(04:35):
not your education, not your social status. If you want
to change the world, measure a person by the size
of their heart, not by the size of their flippers.
Several times a week, the instructors would line up the
class and do a uniform inspection.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
It was exceptionally thorough.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Your hat had to be perfectly starched, your uniform immaculately pressed,
your belt buckles shiny and vul of any smudges. But
it seemed that no matter how much effort you put
into starching your hat, or pressing your uniform or polishing
your belt buckle, it just wasn't good enough. The instructors
would find something wrong. For failing uniform inspection, the student
(05:15):
had to run fully clothed into the surf zone, then
wet from head to toe, roll around on the beach
until every part of your body was covered with sand.
The effect was known as sugar cookie. You stayed in
the uniform the rest of the day, cold, wet, and sandy.
There were many a student who just couldn't accept the
(05:36):
fact that all their efforts were in vain, that no
matter how hard they tried to get the uniform right,
it went unappreciated. Those students didn't make it through training.
Those students didn't understand the purpose of the drill. You
were never going to succeed. You were never going to
have a perfect uniform. The instructors weren't.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Going to allow it.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Sometimes, no matter how well you prepare or how well
you perform, you still end up as a sugar cookie.
It's just the way life is.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Sometimes.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
If you want to change the world, get over being
a sugar cookie, and keep moving forward. Every day, during training,
you were challenged with multiple physical events, long runs, long swims,
obstacle courses, hours of calisthenics, something designed to test your metal.
Every event had standards times you had to meet. If
you failed to meet those times those standards, your name
(06:29):
was posted on a list, and at the end of
the day, those on the list were invited to a circus.
A circus was two hours of additional calisthenics designed to
wear you down, to break your spirit, to force you
to quit. No one wanted a circus. A circus meant
that for that day, you didn't measure up. A circus
meant more fatigue, and more fatigue meant that the following
(06:52):
day would be more difficult, and more circuses were likely.
But at some time during seal training everyone every one
made the circus list. But an interesting thing happened to
those who were constantly on the list. Over time, those
students who did two hours of extras calisthenics got stronger
(07:14):
and stronger. The pain of the circuses built inner strength
and physical resiliency.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Life is filled with circuses.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
You will fail, and you will likely fail often, and
it will be painful, it will be discouraging at times,
it will test you to your very core. But if
you want to change the world, don't be afraid of
the circuses. At least twice a week, the trainees were
required to run the obstacle course. The obstacle course contained
(07:44):
twenty five obstacles, including a ten foot wall, a thirty
foot cargo net, a barbed wire crawl, to name a few,
But the most challenging obstacle was the Slide for Life.
It had a three level thirty foot tower at one
end and a one level tower at the other.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
In between, it was a two hundred foot long rope.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
You had to climb the three tiered tower, and once
at the top, you grabbed the rope, swung underneath the rope,
and pulled yourself hand over hand until you got to
the other end. The record for the obstacle course had
stood for years when my class began in nineteen seventy seven.
The record seemed unbeatable until one day a student decided
(08:22):
to go down the Slide for Life head first. Instead
of swinging his body underneath the rope and inching his
way down, he bravely mounted the top of the rope
and thrust himself forward. It was a dangerous move, seemingly
foolish and fraught with risk. Failure could be an injury
in being dropped from the course Without hesitation, the students
(08:42):
slid down the rope perilously fast. Instead of several minutes,
it only took him half that time, and by the
end of the course he had broken the record. If
you want to change the world, sometimes you have to
slide down the obstacle's head first. During the land warfare
phase of training, the students are flown out to San
(09:03):
Clemente Island, which lies off the coast of San Diego.
The waters off San Clementary are a breeding ground for
the great white sharks. To pass seal training, there are
a series of long swims it must be completed.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
One is the night swim.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Before the swim, the instructors joyfully brief the students on
all the species of sharks that inhabit the waters off
San Clemente. They assure you, however, that no student has
ever been eaten by a shark, at least not that
they can remember. But you are also taught that if
(09:37):
a shark begins to circle your position, stand your ground,
do not swim away, do not act afray, And if
the shark, hungry for a midnight snack darts towards you,
then summons up all your strength and punch him in
the snout and he will turn and swim away. There
are a lot of sharks in the world you hope
(10:00):
to complete the swim, you will have to deal with them.
So if you want to change the world, don't back
down from the sharks. As Navy seals, one of our
jobs is to conduct underwater attacks against enemy shipping. We
practice this technique extensively during training. The ship attack mission
is where a pair of sealed divers is dropped off
(10:21):
outside an enemy harbor and then swims well over two
miles underwater, using nothing but a depth gage and a
compass to get to the target. During the entire swim,
even well below the surface, there is some light that
comes through. It is comforting to know that there is
open water above you, But as you approach the ship,
(10:45):
which is tied to a pier, the light begins to fade.
The steel structure the ship blocks the moonlight, it blocks
the surrounding street lamps, it blocks all ambient light. To
be successful, in your mission, you have to swim under
the ship and find the keel, the center line and
the deepest part of the ship.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
This is your objective.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But the keel is also the darkest part of the ship,
where you cannot see your hand in front of your face,
where the noise from the ship's machinery is deafening, and
where it gets to be easily disoriented, and you can fail.
Every seal knows that under the keel, at that darkest
moment of the mission is the time when you need
(11:26):
to be calm, When you must be calm, when you
must be composed, when all your tactical skills, your physical power,
and your inner strength must be brought to bear. If
you want to change the world, you must be your
very best in the darkest moments. The ninth week of
(11:47):
training is referred to as Hell Week. It is six
days of no sleep, constant physical and mental harassment, and
one special day at the mudflats. The mudflats are an
area between San Diego and tia Wa where the water
runs off and creates the Tijuana Slews, a swampy patch
of terrain where a mud will engulf ueld. It is
(12:08):
on Wednesday of Hell week, but to paddle down to
the mudflats and spend the next fifteen hours trying to
survive this freezing cold, the howling wind, and the incessant
pressure to quit from the instructors. As the sun began
to set that Wednesday evening, my training class, having committed
some egregious infraction of the rules, was ordered into the mud.
(12:30):
The mud consumed each man till there was nothing visible
but our heads. The instructors told us we could leave
the mud if only five men would quit. Only five men,
just five men, and we could get out of the
oppressive cold. Looking around the mud flat, it was apparent
that some students were about to give up. It was
still over eight hours till the sun came up. Eight
(12:52):
more hours of bone chilling cold. The chattering teeth and
the shivering moans of the trainees were so loud it
was hard to hear anything. And then one voice began
to echo through the night. One voice raised in song.
The song was terribly out of tune, but sung with
(13:13):
great enthusiasm. One voice became two, and two became three,
and before long everyone in the class was singing. The
instructors threatened us with more time in the mud if
we kept up the singing. But the singing persisted, and
somehow the mud seemed a little warmer, and the wind
a little tamer, and the dawn not so far away.
(13:34):
If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world,
it is the power of hope, the power of one person.
A Washington, a Lincoln, King Mandela, and even a young
girl from Pakistan Malala. One person can change the world
by giving people hope. So if you want to change
the world, start singing when you're up to your neck
(13:57):
in mud. Finally, a sealed training, there's a bell, a
brass bell that hangs in the center of the compound
for all the students to see. All you have to
do is quit. All you have to do to quit
is ring the bell. Ring the bell, and you no
longer have to wake up at five o'clock. Ring the
bell and you no longer have to be in the
(14:18):
freezing cold swims. Ring the bell and you no longer
have to do the runs, the obstacle course, the pt
and you no longer have to endure the hardships of training.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
All you have to do is ring.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
The bell to get out. If you want to change
the world, don't ever ever ring the bell. It will
not be easy. 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.
(14:52):
But if you take some risks, step up when the
times are the toughest, face down the bullies, lift up
the down trodden, and never ever give up. If you
do these things, the next generation and the generations.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
That follow we'll live in a world far.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Better than the one we have today, and what's started
here will indeed have changed the world for the better.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Thank you very much,
What starts here changes the world.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I have a few suggestions that may help you on
your way to a better world. And while these lessons
