Every male in my family, and 2 girls served our nation, every one of us, in combat, 2 served in the special forces and 1 never came home..this speech is reminder of the war we all fight in our minds after that hell. Sing. Never back down. Ignore the bell...and sing.

My grandfather turned 100 this year. He landed on Omaha beach on June 6 DDay he said he didn’t die that day as he didn’t give up. He was shot and instead of falling on the beach he continued up the beach he said “I didn’t give up as the fate of my friends and the free world was at stake”

“End of the day, somebody has to make the enemy scared of the dark.
We get dirty, and the world stays clean. That's the mission.”

There's one guy who was a wise person, told me this, and i still remember forever.

"Why should you give up when we made this so far, why should you back down when the obstacles can be climbed over, it was about survival, and we are grasping any bit of our strength and hope to see another day in our life, no matter who and where, we are always fighting everyday, to see the tomorrow daylight."

The pain has to end, so why quit
The pain will become like an old friend, so why quit
The pain will become my strenght so why quit
I will not quit, I love the pain, I need the pain, it tells me in not dead, it tells me there's still hope...
It tells me *DON'T FCUKING QUIT!*

20 years served with the UK SAS. Gave my soul for my country and our allies. I would do it all over again in a heart beat.

Mental toughness is not only in the physical, but intellectual as well. Sustaining continuous hardship and forging through for years and decades of school to arrive at a doctoral degree, becoming the best in the nation to serve your country by developing technology used by these special forces guys takes heart and grit at well. True I will not take a bullet like these guys, but that's not my contribution, I am much more valuable elsewhere. And when these guys use our technology so they won't have to take a bullet, that contribution is just as significant if not more.

Not alot of good came from my father, he was a narcisist, who shot himself and left me, my mom and brother alone, broke and in depth.
The Ironic part is that exactly he told me one of the realest things I've ever heard:
"A man is a man until he quits. A real man does not quit"
He wasn't a real man, but I became one because of that. The best lessons come from the worst hardships friends, Do Not Quit.

“To be able at any moment to sacrifice what you are, for what you will become “
Eric Thomas

This quote made me realize it’s never to late. .
I changed career and completed nursing school.
It is a calling for me and I can feel it.

[MarchiGaming]

I can only say one word - amazing! That dark knight soundtrack nailed it 👊

[davidcook]

I'm glad I'm a proud American, and even prouder if our armed forces. The men and women of our military deserve so many thanks, and so many prays to have God to keep them safe and to come home. Thank you to whom are serving and have served. And a special thanks to those who gave their life on the battle ground. May God bless and keep you all. Amen

[evecowap]

Its our duty to embrace masculinity for millions of men who died fighting for our existence.

[KaiDürwald]

I, as a German, have never heard such an inspiring speech.

[ArmyPL]

Holy shit such motivation and enthusiasm to never quit no matter how many sharks surround you. Have the courage to face your demons and stand your ground.

Chills. As a civilian, I'm grateful to be exposed to this mentality. I refuse to feel hopeless anymore.

[mikaeljonsson]

Admiral McRaven, such an amazing speech!

[darkmachine]

I'll never forget that statement, "There is a lot of sharks in the world, if you hope to complete the swim you will have to deal with them." Life is like that swim.

[michaelpatras]

I encourage everyone to listen to Admiral McRaven’s entire commencement speech. It’s amazing.

[hmpb]

This kind of job is for people who embrace the pain and suffering, who would never back down facing death, who would give their life for a higher purpose.
