Life Lessons -Taken From Navy SEAL Training

U.S. Navy Admiral William H. McRaven was the commencement speaker on May 17th, at the University of Texas. Admiral McRaven is the commander of U.S. Special Operations Command. That means he commands SEAL Team 6 (DEVGRU), Delta Force and the most "shadowy" of all spec ops forces, a group known only as "The Activity" or ISA (look it up).  36 years ago Admiral McRaven went through SEAL training. What he learned in SEAL training has stayed with him since. At the commencement, he talked about the ten life lessons he learned during those six months.

Here's the transcript of the speech. And here's the video:
