If you can’t do the little things right, Anjeun kungsi baris ngalakonan hal gedé katuhu.

jeung, lamun ku kasempetan Anjeun gaduh poé henteu resep, you will come home to a bed that is made—that you made—and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.

#1. Upami anjeun hayang ngarobah dunya, ngamimitian off ku nyieun bed Anjeun.

Salila latihan segel siswa nu direcah jadi crews parahu. Each crew is seven students—three on each side of a small rubber boat and one coxswain to help guide the dingy.

Saban poé awak parahu Anjeun ngabentuk nepi ka basisir sarta maréntahkeun pikeun meunangkeun ngaliwatan zona internetan jeung ngawelah sababaraha mil turun basisir.

Dina usum tiis, nu internetan off San Diego bisa meunangkeun jadi 8 ka 10 suku luhur jeung eta exceedingly hésé ngawelah ngaliwatan internetan plunging kajaba dulur digs di.

Unggal ngawelah kudu nyingkronkeun ka count stroke of coxswain nu. Sarerea kudu exert usaha sarua atawa parahu bakal ngahurungkeun ngalawan gelombang jeung kudu unceremoniously tossed deui dina basisir.

Pikeun parahu pikeun nyieun eta tujuan anak, everyone kudu ngawelah.

You can’t change the world alone—you will need some help— and to truly get from your starting point to your destination takes friends, kolega, nu bakal hade strangers jeung coxswain kuat pikeun panduan eta.

#2. Upami anjeun hayang ngarobah dunya, manggihan batur pikeun mantuan Anjeun ngawelah.

Leuwih sababaraha minggu hese latihan mah kelas segel nu dimimitian ku 150 lalaki ieu turun ka ngan 35. Aya ayeuna genep crews parahu tujuh lalaki unggal.

Ieu mah di parahu kalawan guys jangkung, but the best boat crew we had was made up of the the little guys—the munchkin crew we called them—no one was over about 5-foot five.

Awak munchkin parahu geus hiji American Indian, hiji American Afrika, hiji American Polandia, hiji American Yunani, hiji American Italia, jeung dua kids tangguh ti pertengahan kulon.

Maranéhanana kaluar paddled, kaluar-lumpat, jeung kaluar swam sadaya crews parahu sejenna.

Lalaki gede di crews parahu sejenna maneh sok make fun natured alus tina flippers saeutik leutik nu munchkins ditunda suku saeutik leutik maranéhanana saméméh unggal ngojay.

Tapi kumaha bae ieu guys saeutik, ti unggal sudut nu Nation jeung dunya, always had the last laugh— swimming faster than everyone and reaching the shore long before the rest of us.

latihan segel ieu ékualiser gede. Euweuh mattered tapi bakal Anjeun sukses. Teu warna Anjeun, teu kasang tukang etnis Anjeun, teu atikan jeung teu status sosial anjeun.

#3. Upami anjeun hayang ngarobah dunya, ngukur jelema ku ukuran jantung maranéhanana, teu ukuran flippers maranéhanana.

Sababaraha kali saminggu, nu instruktur bakal baris nepi kelas jeung lampahkeun pamariksaan seragam. Ieu exceptionally jero.

hat anjeun geus jadi sampurna starched, seragam Anjeun immaculately dipencet jeung beubeur Anjeun ngaitkeun ngagurilap jeung batal mana wae smudges.

Tapi seemed nu euweuh urusan sabaraha usaha anjeun nunda kana starching hat Anjeun, or pressing your uniform or polishing your belt buckle—- it just wasn’t good enough.

The instructors would find “something” wrong.

Pikeun gagal dina pamariksaan seragam, mahasiswa kungsi ngajalankeun, pinuh dipakena kana surfzone jeung saterusna, baseuh ti sirah ka toe, gulung kira-kira dina basisir nepi ka unggal bagian awak anjeun ieu ditutupan ku keusik.

The effect was known as a “sugar cookie.” You stayed in that uniform the rest of the day—cold, baseuh jeung keusik.

There were many a student who just couldn’t accept the fact that all their effort was in vain. That no matter how hard they tried to get the uniform right—it was unappreciated.

Those students didn’t make it through training.

Those students didn’t understand the purpose of the drill. Anjeun kungsi bade sukses. Anjeun kungsi bade boga saragam sampurna.

Kadangkala euweuh urusan kumaha oge anjeun nyiapkeun atawa kumaha oge anjeun ngalakukeun Anjeun masih mungkas nepi salaku cookie gula.

It’s just the way life is sometimes.

#4. Upami anjeun hayang ngarobah dunya meunang leuwih keur cookie gula jeung ngajaga pindah ka hareup.

Every day during training you were challenged with multiple physical events—long runs, swims lila, kursus halangan, hours of calisthenics—something designed to test your mettle.

Every event had standards—times you had to meet. If you failed to meet those standards your name was posted on a list and at the end of the day those on the list were invited to—a “circus.”

A circus was two hours of additional calisthenics—designed to wear you down, pikeun megatkeun sumanget Anjeun, maksa anjeun kaluar.

hiji No hayang sirkus hiji.

A circus meant that for that day you didn’t measure up. A circus meant more fatigue—and more fatigue meant that the following day would be more difficult—and more circuses were likely.

Tapi di sawatara waktu salila latihan segel, everyone—everyone—made the circus list.

Tapi hiji hal metot kajadian ka jalma anu terus éta dina daptar. Over time those students-—who did two hours of extra calisthenics—got stronger and stronger.

Nu nyeri tina circuses diwangun jero resiliency fisik kakuatan-diwangun.

Hirup ngeusi circuses.

Anjeun bakal gagal. Anjeun dipikaresep bakal gagal mindeng. Ieu bakal nyeri. Ieu bakal ngalemahkeun. Dina kali bakal nguji anjeun pisan inti Anjeun.

#5. Tapi upami Anjeun hoyong robah dunya, don’t be afraid of the circuses.

Sahenteuna dua kali saminggu, nu trainees anu diperlukeun pikeun ngajalankeun tangtu halangan. Tangtu halangan dikandung 25 halangan kaasup tembok luhur 10 suku, a kargo net 30 suku, jeung kawat ngorondang barbed ka sababaraha ngaran.

Tapi halangan paling nangtang ieu slide pikeun hirup. Ieu kungsi tingkat tilu 30 suku munara di hiji tungtung sarta hiji munara tingkat di séjén. Di antara ieu tali lila 200-suku.

Anjeun geus nanjak tilu munara tiered jeung sakali di luhur, Anjeun grabbed tali, swung underneath tali jeung ditarik sorangan leungeun leuwih leungeun nepi ka anjeun meunang ka tungtung nu sejen.

Catetan keur tangtu halangan geus ngadeg taun iraha kelas mah mimiti latihan di 1977.

catetan seemed unbeatable, nepi ka hiji poé, a student decided to go down the slide for life—head first.

Gantina ayun awakna underneath tali jeung inching jalan turun, he bravely dipasang dina TOP tina tali jeung dorong dirina maju.

It was a dangerous move—seemingly foolish, jeung fraught jeung risiko. Kagagalan bisa mean tatu jeung keur turun ti latihan.

Without hesitation—the student slid down the rope—perilously fast, tinimbang sababaraha menit, eta ngan nyandak manéhna satengah waktu éta jeung ku ahir tangtu manéhna geus pegat catetan.

#6. Upami anjeun hayang ngarobah dunya kadang anjeun kudu geser turun sirah halangan kahiji.

Salila fase perang tanah latihan, siswa anu flown kaluar San Clemente Island nu perenahna off basisir San Diego.

Nu cai off San Clemente aya taneuh beternak pikeun hiu bodas gede. Pikeun lulus latihan segel aya runtuyan swims lila anu kudu réngsé. One—is the night swim.

Saméméh ngojay nu instruktur joyfully ringkes nu trainees dina sagala spésiés hiu nu nyicingan cai off San Clemente.

Maranéhanana assure anjeun, kumaha, that no student has ever been eaten by a shark—at least not recently.

tapi, you are also taught that if a shark begins to circle your position—stand your ground. Ulah ngojay jauh. Ulah meta sieun.

Jeung lamun hiu nu, lapar keur snack tengah wengi, darts towards you—then summons up all your strength and punch him in the snout and he will turn and swim away.

Aya loba hiu di dunya. Lamun ngaharepkeun pikeun ngarengsekeun ngojay anjeun kudu nungkulan eta.

#7. janten, upami Anjeun hoyong pikeun ngarobah dunya, don’t back down from the sharks.

Salaku anjing laut Angkatan Laut salah sahiji jobs urang keur ngalaksanakeun serangan jero cai ngalawan pengiriman barang musuh. Urang latihan téknik ieu sacara éksténsif salila latihan dasar.

The ship attack mission is where a pair of SEAL divers is dropped off outside an enemy harbor and then swims well over two miles—underwater—using nothing but a depth gauge and a compass to get to their target.

Salila sakabéh ngojay, komo well sahandapeun beungeut aya sababaraha cahya nu asalna ngaliwatan. Ieu téh comforting nyaho aya cai kabuka di luhur anjeun.

Tapi anjeun kaanggo kapal, nu dihijikeun ka darmaga a, cahaya mimiti diudar. The steel structure of the ship blocks the moonlight—it blocks the surrounding street lamps—it blocks all ambient light.

Jadi suksés di misi Anjeun, you have to swim under the ship and find the keel—the center line and the deepest part of the ship.

Ieu obyektif Anjeun. But the keel is also the darkest part of the ship—where you cannot see your hand in front of your face, where the noise from the ship’s machinery is deafening and where it is easy to get disoriented and fail.

Unggal segel weruh yén dina keel nu, at the darkest moment of the mission—is the time when you must be calm, composed—when all your tactical skills, daya fisik Anjeun jeung sagala kakuatan batin anjeun kudu dibawa ka tega.

#8. Upami anjeun hayang ngarobah dunya, Anjeun kudu jadi Anjeun pisan pangalusna di momen darkest.

The ninth week of training is referred to as “Hell Week.” It is six days of no sleep, constant physical and mental harassment and—one special day at the Mud Flats—the Mud Flats are an area between San Diego and Tijuana where the water runs off and creates the Tijuana slue’s—a swampy patch of terrain where the mud will engulf you.

Ieu téh Rebo of Apan Minggu nu ngawelah turun ka rumah susun leutak jeung méakkeun saterusna 15 jam nyoba salamet leutak tiis katirisan, angin howling jeung tekenan incessant kaluar ti instruktur.

Salaku panonpoé mimiti nangtukeun nu Rebo peuting, kelas latihan mah, having committed some “egregious infraction of the rules” was ordered into the mud.

leutak dikonsumsi unggal manusa saacan aya sia katempo tapi huluna urang. The instructors told us we could leave the mud if only five men would quit—just five men and we could get out of the oppressive cold.

Ningali kira-kira datar leutak ieu katempo yén sababaraha siswa nya éta ngeunaan nyerah. It was still over eight hours till the sun came up—eight more hours of bone chilling cold.

Nu chattering huntu jeung shivering moans tina trainees éta jadi pisan ieu hésé ngadéngé nanaon terus, one voice began to echo through the night—one voice raised in song.

lagu ieu sangar kaluar Ngepaskeun, tapi ditembangkeun jeung minat gede.

Hiji sora jadi dua jeung dua jadi tilu jeung saméméh lila dulur di kelas ieu nyanyi.

Urang terang yen lamun hiji manusa bisa naek di saluhureun kasangsaraan tuluy batur bisa ogé.

The instructors threatened us with more time in the mud if we kept up the singing—but the singing persisted.

And somehow—the mud seemed a little warmer, angin a tamer saeutik jeung subuh teu jadi jauh.

Lamun kuring geus diajar nanaon dina jangka waktu mah iinditan dunya, eta kakawasaan harepan. The power of one person—Washington, Lincoln, raja, Mandela and even a young girl from Pakistan—Malala—one person can change the world by giving people hope.

#9. janten, upami Anjeun hoyong pikeun ngarobah dunya, start singing when you’re up to your neck in mud.

tungtungna, di tangerang segel aya bel a. A bel kuningan nu hangs di puseur sanyawa pikeun kabéh siswa pikeun nempo.

All you have to do to quit—is ring the bell. Ngirining bel jeung anjeun henteu deui kudu bangun di 5 o’clock. Ngirining bel jeung anjeun henteu deui kudu ulah swims tiis katirisan.

Ngirining bel jeung anjeun henteu deui kudu ulah ngalir, tangtu halangan, the PT—and you no longer have to endure the hardships of training.

Ngan ngirining bel.

#10. If you want to change the world don’t ever, kungsi ngirining bel.

Pikeun kelas lulus tina 2014, anjeun moments jauh ti lulus. Moments jauh ti mimiti lalampahan Anjeun ngaliwatan kahirupan. Moments away from starting to change the world—for the better.

Eta moal gampang.

tapi, YOU are the class of 2014—the class that can affect the lives of 800 juta urang dina abad saterusna.

Mimiti unggal poé jeung tugas réngsé.

Panggihan batur pikeun mantuan Anjeun ngaliwatan kahirupan.

hormat everyone.

Nyaho yén hirup teu adil jeung nu bakal gagal mindeng, tapi lamun nyokot nyokot sababaraha resiko, lengkah nepi nalika kali aya toughest, nyanghareupan turun bullies, angkat downtrodden jeung kungsi, ever give up—if you do these things, then next generation and the generations that follow will live in a world far better than the one we have today and—what started here will indeed have changed the world—for the better.
