gave at the university of texas in may of 2014. i talked about the ten lessons i learned in seal training. some didn t seem profound, but they resonated with the students and to a broader audience. first was make your bed. why is that the first lesson? it is was first lesson i learned going through seal training. every morning we had to make your bed a have a uniform inspection. i didn t understand, i came here to be a battle hardened seal, but it s the first traffask of day, it s important, if do you it well, the rest will follow, and the little things matter, if you can do little things well, big things will be done well. admiral, thank you so much, thank you for being with us today. my pleasure, thank you. good to see you, guess who is coming to dinner, fact checking
