'Don't forget to make your bed' is one of the first instructions your mom probably gave you growing up.
Well, according to Admiral William H. McRaven making your bed is one of the little things you can do if you want to change the world. (If I'd thought of it this way I might have made my bed more cheerfully in the morning.)
Be honest...who doesn't want to change the world?
In Make Your Bed Admiral McRaven outlines 10 principles to follow if you want to see change. Powerful anecdotes from his time as a Navy Seal accompany his practical advice.
This quote from the books sums it up perfectly:
"Remember...start each day with a task completed. Find someone to help you through life. Respect everyone. Know that life isn't fair and that you will fail often. But if you take some risks, step up when times are toughest, face down the bullies, lift up the downtrodden, and never, ever give up- if you do these things, then you can change your life for the better...and maybe the world! (McRaven, 103-104).
If you're looking for a short motivational book look no further than Make Your Bed.
Reading is knowledge and knowledge is power,
