One of my favorite speeches to watch is Admiral McRaven’s commencement speech (https://www.youtube.com/watch? to a University of Texas graduating class.  In his presentation he discusses how doing the small things, like making your bed in the morning, help you complete the bigger tasks that challenge you.  For many years I have watched and shared this speech and experienced the benefit of concentrating on what you can do, rather than how things you cannot.  The wisdom of being able to celebrate the small successes of a team and how little triumphs lead to a larger success.

I was surprised to receive the picture on the right from my son, who is a midshipman at Texas A&M, who was fortunate to not only hear him speak, but pose in a selfie.
