McRaven, Admiral William (former Navy SEAL)

Also former commander of 

U.S. Special Operations Command

was under consideration as running mate (VP Nominee) for the

presumed POTUS Candidate for the Democratic Political Party Nov. 2024

[quotations from David French, NY TIMES Columnist 7/28/2024 ]

Commencement Speech given 2014 to Univ. of Texas Austin

[ YOU TUBE versions racked up together 70 million views ]

He draws upon his SEAL training to teach

graduates how to change the world, 

beginning with the smallest tasks 

like how to make your bed in the morning; 

If you want to change the world,

measure a person by the size of their heart 

not by their flippers; 

If you want to change the world, 

don't back down from the sharks; 

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; 

If you take some risks, 

step up when the times are the toughest, 

face down the bullies, 

lift up the downtrodden, 

never ever give up!
