University of Texas at Austin 2014 Commencement Address - Admiral William H. McRaven

The Mind · Start Here · 19:26 · Admiral William H. McRaven

The 2014 University of Texas commencement address — ten lessons from Navy SEAL training, from making your bed to standing tall in the mud, each mapped onto ordinary life.

Why it earns its runtime: Nineteen minutes that became one of the most-watched speeches ever given on discipline. The small-habits argument, made unforgettable.
