You need to understand who that man is. If walked into a room and the president and all of staff were in their, everyone would stand and listen to what he had to say.
admiral McRaven wrote a book make your bed and my mom met him and he signed a book for me last year and wrote a message to me saying congratulations on graduating high school and make your bed.
The full version is even better. I tear up every time I see it, and I'm a bitter old man. 😀 Watch that one with the kids for sure. Your kids are great already, but this will still inspire them more. 🙂
You two are AMAZING parents, Lea and Garin are lucky to have y'all and awesome kids as well. Thanks for your hard work and time. Always looking forward to seeing your videos everyday. Peace from Central Texas Hook'em Horns 🤘
I read this book. It was required reading for a leadership class I had to take for work. It was one of the best 'required' things I did and highly recommend it to anyone in any context.
He's an amazing speaker. Please do yourself a favor, and check out the full version of this speech. The entire thing is similar format to what you've seen here, but it has even more impact and life-changing insight.
Back a few centuries ago I was at Special Ops University and had a writing assignment that I used his book " Spec Ops". I had a question about a source he used, and a SEAL in the class said to just email him. As a new O3, and an AF guy at that I was like...hmm Okay. I got a reply 2 days later. from HIM. Not his aide or a planner on his staff- him. He was very helpful and said he was just an email away for further questions. I thanked him and nailed the assignment. Thanks Admiral 😊
This is one of the best speeches I have ever heard. This is a shortened version however. There is a full version on RUclips. It runs about 19 mins, and there are even more examples. Trust me it is well worth the watch.
My father was in Army and was a Staff Sargent in Korea. He taught me to Make My Bed on my 7th birthday, Army style! Before I left my room to even go to the bathroom. He was strict but FAIR. Him and mom rewarded us kids at Christmas time for being good, handsomely. Miss ya Pop. Miss ya Mom.
His book is fantastic I just got it and it hits hard for me because I'm a :veteran . And proud of the fact that I join the army at 30 lol. Ahhh good times
T"he reaction you made to Admiral Mcraven " make your bed" is only a portion of his speech 0f 16 minutes at the graduation at the Texas University. Try to obtain this copy " Admiral McRaven leaves the audience speechless/ One of the best motivational speeches" He was a Navy Seal for 36 years, the Pacific Chief of Special Operations, the European Chief of Special Operations, Chief of the Navy Seals and the man in charge of the operation to get rid of Bin Laden. A real hero, incredible man. It gives the 10 things he learned as a Navy Seals. You only presented 3-4, I think.
Would def recommend the longer version of this video even if it’s not a reaction. Some of these speeches are so good, you just need to hear them even if its not for yt. To say this guy is the real deal? Is an understatement, he’s got some interviews out there & I’ve listened to one that was ab an hour long. Guy is goated & dedicated his life to our countries defense, he deserves respect
The admiral is a good one for sure. You might like jokko willink as well he was a seal that now runs a company squaring away other companies on leadership and such. Plus a podcast, spoken word albums, and books. Including the warrior kid books
My mother always took great pride in the fact that so many people, when we were out in public, often commented on just how well behaved all four of us boys were. I remember how much it effected her every time that occurred.
Awe please don’t take this the wrong way but when I bought you the 3 coffees I included the better video and I really wanted the kids to see it. I’m a glad you took the time though so thank you. Just a bit more info about Admiral McRaven. He oversaw the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden and he also led the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips, who was held hostage by Somali pirates after the 2009 hijacking of the MV Maersk Alabama in the Gulf of Aden. A movie with Tom Hank’s as Captain Phillips was made about the ordeal.
The Korean Gentleman (Josh from Jolly) is currently doing a series where they took the British High Schoolers, now Uni students, to Korea for Navy Basic Training. You might want to go back to where they took them to Korea for the first time for some background; or back to where they were feeding them Korean food in high school.
Serious now. One of the greatest speeches ever, yes, ever, is from a college basketball coach riddled with cancer. Jim Valvano. 1993 ESPY's (ESPN, big sports network) their award show. You will cry. MUST watch. Up there with MLK, Churchill, JFK, Mandela... hyperbole maybe. but an unbelievable speech from a dying man. "Tumors all over my body..." I cry every time. Needed cry.
SGT Bellavia Medal of Honor recipient, speech “if you want war with the United States of America, I can promise you one thing so help me god, someone else will raise your sons & daughters” just a line from a 20 min speech that I think is one of the best in American history
For whatever reason kids always seem to pick up new languages much faster than adults. That and your children had what is called total submersion. That basically means that they are completely surrounded by others who only speak a foreign language. And so they really have no choice but to adapt to the new language so that they can interact with those people around them.
Your kids and new Zealand family kids are special American kids have become spoiled, our military is short handed because they have nothing this military general said its sad we also are taking about reinstating the draft
I won't swim in the ocean period! And yes, I have heard all the so called shark experts, like the one standing in the knee deep pool full of sharks being interviewed by a reporter. That is until one of the sharks bit one of his calf's off his leg. Then for some reason the, " So called" Shark expert ended the interview. So I understand that the statistics show that shark attacks are relatively rare. However so are lion attacks on humans. But you don't really see random people taking evening strolls on the African savannah now do you? They don't take that chance regardless of what the statistics might be. Because it's just stupid to put yourself in mortal danger for a recreational activity. Mic drop!
Although my two comments earlier today about McRaven received 0 likes (as expected) every word is accurate. You can either choose to ignore this factual information because it's upsetting or accept/deal with it like a mature adult. In either case, McRaven is who he is. Nothing anyone writes here changes that.
No pray to God when you first fet up , im a military veteran i hade to make my bed perfect for years no i dont but im way more happy starting my day with praying to God than making my bed
Let me tell you what gets these guys through God most military veterans are Christians not religion but the Bible Gods word and Jesus trust in Jesus who died for our sins , God got me through mybtime in military working non stop 18 hr days
Actually i would disagree people cant do anything, God created us all for a purpose not everyone can be a navy seal no matter how much you want it , not everyone can be a Dr but if you want to do something at least try
Making your bed is a waste of time. What's the point. He's not making the point. You can find something that isn't a waste of time. The only time my bed is made. When my house Keeper makes the bed when I leave to go down South or up North. I don't like my bed made. William s
Definitely try doing the longer version. He goes through multiple points just like he does and they are all very impactful and meaningful.
This one skipped too much for sure. It's a great speech and a great book.
The longer version is definitely way better!
This is one the kids do need to watch
You need to understand who that man is. If walked into a room and the president and all of staff were in their, everyone would stand and listen to what he had to say.
Please get his book I just got it

It Truly is an Awesome Speech
The kids need to see this. Preferably the longer version
So good I had to watch it twice. 🤠👍🇨🇱
💯💯👍🏼👍🏼 guaranteed your attitude and your families drive would have made perfect Americans😮
Definitely need to listen to the full speech like others mentioned.
Great speech. I haven't heard this in a few years but is good to listen to more than once.
💯💯It's not about the sharks it's about you standing your ground that's the American way🎉🎉
The full speech is great. More great stories just like that.
My father was in Army and was a Staff Sargent in Korea. He taught me to Make My Bed on my 7th birthday, Army style! Before I left my room to even go to the bathroom. He was strict but FAIR. Him and mom rewarded us kids at Christmas time for being good, handsomely. Miss ya Pop. Miss ya Mom.
Will say same as others. Watch the full version. This was a tremendous speech. Definitely one of the most powerful I have ever heard.
Love you Kat and Jono
Excellent choice of video. Thank you.
The world is full of great leaders and people. We just have to open our eyes to see. Hope!
His book is fantastic I just got it and it hits hard for me because I'm a :veteran . And proud of the fact that I join the army at 30 lol. Ahhh good times

The book is good also. This is definitely one of the videos your children should see
The admiral is a good one for sure. You might like jokko willink as well he was a seal that now runs a company squaring away other companies on leadership and such. Plus a podcast, spoken word albums, and books. Including the warrior kid books
Watching Slovakia vs Belgium right now, cheers from the great state of North Carolina
Love your family and videos ❤
My mother always took great pride in the fact that so many people, when we were out in public, often commented on just how well behaved all four of us boys were. I remember how much it effected her every time that occurred.
In place receive my view as a SeaBee , this man is an admiral and a SEAL. Cheers
I spent a summer and a winter in Zilina. Love Slovakia.
Thank you. I needed this tonight.
Thanks for this video. I needed to hear it. Been going through hard stuff and I needed a reminder that the small things matter.
Awe please don’t take this the wrong way but when I bought you the 3 coffees I included the better video and I really wanted the kids to see it. I’m a glad you took the time though so thank you.

i want to second the longer speech, with the kids, it is a very good speech and inspirational
The Korean Gentleman (Josh from Jolly) is currently doing a series where they took the British High Schoolers, now Uni students, to Korea for Navy Basic Training. You might want to go back to where they took them to Korea for the first time for some background; or back to where they were feeding them Korean food in high school.
Thisi is a short version of his speech I believe. I have watched a few dozen times.
Funny that you are wearing a Rancho Cucamonga shirt, I work there. lol
Please watch his ENTIRE commencement speech to his Alma Mater, the University of Texas. This has been drastically cut down...
Yeah. It breaks my heart to see all of these folks reacting to a massively edited version of this amazing speech. It is too good to miss.
He is also a SEAL
They know he says many times
Please react to the full speech if possible, trust me it is worth it.
Yes drill sergeant

That version of the speech is the abbreviated version. It is worth it to listen to the whole speech.

Yeah do the long one with the kids
The best thing to do about bedsheets is to have at least 4 sets change them every other day and the fresh washed ones will be ready like clockwork.
If you liked this speech check out actor Denzel Washington speech at the University of Pennsylvania. ❤
Howdy Ya'll!
Ive surfed a lot of places if you see a shark face it and literally punch it in the nose is true thatscthe sensory system
You can do another one but have your kids do the react.
I hear bedbugs love a made bed. 😂

A Real Man (tm)
South Africa is like California. Thier is great white sharks
Make your bed I’m a military veteran I had to make my bed perfect for years now I don’t
A day spent not accomplishing something meaningful is a day wasted.
No pray to God when you first fet up , im a military veteran i hade to make my bed perfect for years no i dont but im way more happy starting my day with praying to God than making my bed
This is the edited & short version of Admiral's "Make your Bed" speech, the original is Much better and has much better continuity.
Let me tell you what gets these guys through God most military veterans are Christians not religion but the Bible Gods word and Jesus trust in Jesus who died for our sins , God got me through mybtime in military working non stop 18 hr days
I gave up and can't hear, the volume too low.
You will wear out the bed linens washing every day.
This is the highly abbreviated version of this speech, sadly. Please what the full-length version. It's full of wisdom.
The video doesn't do the whole speach justic
There is better seal choices David goggins
Actually i would disagree people cant do anything, God created us all for a purpose not everyone can be a navy seal no matter how much you want it , not everyone can be a Dr but if you want to do something at least try
This is painful. You're stopping to focus on all these little examples he's using, and missing the message it seems like.
Who the heck "enjoys" swimming with sharks?
Making your bed is a waste of time. What's the point. He's not making the point. You can find something that isn't a waste of time. The only time my bed is made. When my house Keeper makes the bed when I leave to go down South or up North. I don't like my bed made. William s
Sorry you feel that your lazy
Why dont you try cooking and eating something from american like other RUclipsrs do ?
What chicken isn't American? LOL
Which part of America? There are 35 sovereign states to choose from.
Sorry I can't watch with all the interruptions and especially with someone trying to give a speech.
I was in the short boat
