I served in the Australian army for 9 years and after watching this video I've got great respect for this man. It doesn't matter which country you're from, all Army men have great life lessons to pass on to other people. If his stories don't motivate people, I don't know what will. Well done that man.

1) Don't sweat the small stuffs.
2) Sometimes failure brings out the real strength within you.
3) As you leave for the work, be ready for combats.
4) It's better you commit mistakes now and learn from them. Don't wait for the judgement day
5) Leaders job is to produce leaders better than them. Always give respect to those who have always supported you..
