Admiral William H. McRaven
About this listen
Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Make Your Bed, written and read by William H. McRaven.
The incredible number one New York Times best seller.
Make your bed to change the world....
'What starts here changes the world' was the university slogan that inspired William H. McRaven to take charge of the small things that could change his life...and even the world. Here McRaven shares the 10 life-changing principles he learned during his 37 years as a Navy SEAL. These 10 philosophies helped him to overcome challenges not only in his career but also throughout his life. What's more anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves, and the world, for the better....
Begin each day with a simple task, help one another through life, respect everyone, know that your life won't be fair and that you will fail often, take risks, step up when times are tough, face down the bullies, lift up the downtrodden and never, ever give up.
Do these things, and we will live in a far better world than the one before it....
Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple and universal wisdom, practical advice and words of encouragement that will inspire listeners to achieve more even in life's darkest moments.

Motivational
Review by PM
* Make your bed first thing in the morning, that’s your first win. “…and, if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made—that you made”
* If you cannot do little things right, you can’t do big things right.
* Never back down from the sharks/bullies. This could be people against you, your own fears, tough times,fight until you WIN.
* Don’t be afraid of the circus- learn how to do better from embarrassing moments.
* Do not give up when facing adversity, beyond the struggle there’s a rainbow.
* Overcome fear by action

Sublime guidance
I don't have anything to do with military, but this speech and book has impressed me and guided me for the last few years.
It is a short book but you can read it or hear it many times and always find something new and underdtand deeper it's content.
