BLACK 1: Which two lessons from Admiral William H. McRaven’s commencement speech? by Jason

2025-10-27 14:58:28 UTC

Start your day with a task completed- It will help each task feel more attainable and will give you motivation to keep moving throughout your day.

You can't go at it alone- Sometimes we need help, that is ok, we must help each other out. Everyone faces challenges but we can overcome them together, you don't have to do everything alone.

2025-10-27 14:58:55 UTC

Starting your day with a task completed is great advice, it makes you motivated to do more. If you make your bed and then have a really bad day, at least you'll come home to that made bed. Life is also not fair and that is a big pill I've had to swallow. You could spend so much time comparing your life to others and wondering why you aren't good enough, but where does that get you? Being able to feel hardships and get through them is a big skill instead of letting them tear you down.

I like the one that says, "you can't do it alone" I believe that you need help from a group of people to help you through life and achieve your goals. I also like the "Never, ever quit" one, I think that if you stay persistent towards what you want in life if you never quit then you will achieve what you want. They both go hand and hand because it takes a village to help you succeed and if you never quit you will achieve what you want.

dont be afraid to fail often and never ever quite are things that have been preached to me all my life. failer isn't a bad thing it just means that you learned more than if you would have succeeded. the smartest people in the world have failed that many more times than everyone else and instead of quiting they kept moving forward. in my family whenever someone fails we celebrate because that means that you have another chance to do better later.

2025-10-27 14:59:50 UTC

Starting the day with a task is a good one to keep yourself motivated. Getting the day started on the right foot is important, and this is a great way to do that.

The other one that stuck out to me was that life isn't fair. It's so easy to want to give up because of injustice, but we have to push through it. I like the idea of just moving on from that, rather than dwelling on it.

2025-10-27 15:00:08 UTC

Respect everyone: everyone deserves respect and to have a chance to show who they really are and have an equal life.

Start your day with a task completed: this makes you keep moving, whether it is going to the gym or getting your homework done , it keeps us focused and disciplinedend

2025-10-27 15:00:12 UTC

The first lesson will be to make your bed. This is one because accomplishing a task first thing in the morning can motivate you for the rest of the day. It gives you a sense of accomplishment. The second one would be to take risks. Taking risks in life is important because it makes people stand out.

2025-10-27 15:00:13 UTC

my two favorites were the give people hope one and, don't be afraid to fail one. I liked the give people hope one because It really resonated with me that hope is a powerful thing and you can achieve a lot if you have hope. I like the don't be afraid to fail because I am a strong believer that you have to keep trying and failure can teach you what you are doing wrong so you can fix it.

2025-10-27 15:00:24 UTC

the first one never quit keepmoving forward and keep pushing think life has a hike in the mountains there will be hard time on the trail and its very tempting to turn around on the hike but if you keep pushing you will reach the end and see a beautiful view

you cant do it alone its best to have people there to help you with a helping hand and that some task you cant do by yourself you will need help

1. Don't be afraid to fail 2. Take risks

2025-10-27 15:00:38 UTC

It's always important to fail, you can't learn if nothing went wrong, you can't learn if you didn't try and you can't learn if there is no struggle. Failure is a part of winning, winning is only so great because of the failure experienced before.

Taking risks is the only way to be truly successful, if it was easy to succeed no one would fail, taking risks ensures that your life stays not only fresh but it also guarantees that you'll at least learn from your mistakes and grow to be even better.

2025-10-27 15:01:01 UTC

Making your bed everyday sets a good routine, that pushes you to complete one task everyday. It creates a great feeling within oneself to continue this habit and come home to a nicely neat bed. Taking risks, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. So do the things you've been wanting to do and enjoy those moments, time is very limited and some never take the risk to do so. Above all else, live life to the fullest and make memories that you can share to the people that means most to you.

2025-10-27 15:01:51 UTC

Only the size of your heart matters. If you are judgmental and you dont respect people, it will fall back on you. Have a good attitude towards everyone and show respect.

You need to take risks. If you want to change something for the better, you must be willing to take risks. Nothing good comes easy, so you need to be ready for that.

2025-10-27 15:02:13 UTC

I really like and agree with the first one, Start The Day With A Task Completed. I think many people struggle with motivation, doing one small task can make you feel primed and ready for the rest of the day. I also really like the Never Give Up one. Those two go hand in hand. You can't have a successful productive day if you give up and don't do anything. I believe those two ideas can set someone up for a full filling, successful, productive life.

2025-10-27 15:02:27 UTC

The two lessons that stood out to me the most are, start your day with a task completed, and never, ever quit. I think that starting your day with a task completed is super important because, like he said, one simple task will motivate you to do more. You will feel and do so much better with knowing that you have already checked something off your list. Never quit, that is so important because if you don't do anything that is hard or pushes you, you can't succeed. Keep trying, Keep pushing. Even if it gets hard you can't quit.

2025-10-27 15:02:39 UTC

Start off your day by making your bed- I understand it is important to begin your day with an accomplishment met, it will help you throughout your day by encouraging you to complete more tasks, and even if you fail that day you still come home to a reminder that tommorow will be better.

Respect Everyone- I feel that this rule alone might be the most important,it reminds us that no matter what we go through, no matter our background that you are just as good, if not better than those around if your are willing to put in the work.

2025-10-27 15:02:51 UTC

Never ever quit.

this one is very important becuase if you never give up you can achieve great things. this is the main key to sucsess becuase if you never quit you will reach your goals.

make you bed summary- starting the day with a task completed will give you motivation to complete another and this motivation will drive you towards your goals. Taking the time to master the little things in life will make all the big things easier.

2025-10-27 15:03:02 UTC

Two lessons from the speech that stuck out to me the most are: "Failure can make you stronger, so don't be afraid to fail often," and "Facing down the bullies." Life is never going to be perfect, and we will fail often. This is something I feel many people are afraid to do. It's natural —we are human. We are so scared of disappointing our friends, parents, teachers, etc. Instead of viewing failure as a weakness, it is a strength. We can use our failures and our mistakes as motivation to do better in life, and learn that it is okay to make mistakes and that they will help us succeed. There are people in our lives who will always try to put us down and make our lives miserable. This can be very discouraging, so when people try to put you down so you will fail, stand up to them —don't let them win! Use their hatred as motivation to succeed in life and accomplish your goals. You will never get anywhere in life if you let other people tell you what to do and dictate your life!

Don't be afraid to fail often Lift up the downtrodden

2025-10-27 15:03:22 UTC

Don't be afraid to fail often, in life you're gonna fail hundreds of times, you don't have to give up after one fail. Keep trying, you're gonna get it. Giving up is a way of saying you aren't gonna do something just because it's hard and you don't get it the first time you do it. Failure isn't the choice you should make.

Give people hope, don't make everything out to be as bad as it is. Sometimes the best you can do is tell the situation as it is, but sometimes you need to give people hope. When you don't give people hope, they want to give up, " the task is too hard," or " I'm not strong enough." A little hope goes a long way.

2025-10-27 15:03:56 UTC

Don't be afraid to fail often, failing forces us down, but choosing to get back up makes us stronger. I think it is important to fail, it shows us the dark sides of life, and without the darkness, the light will never be as meaningful.

In order to fail, we must take risks, to push ourselves out of the mundane. the more risks we take the more opportunities we have. To risk we need courage, courage is not the absence of fear, it's acting in spite of it. To grow we need to fail, to fail we need to risk, to risk we need to use our courage.

2025-10-27 15:04:30 UTC

Using your own failures as a stepping stone to better yourself is absolutely key in life. While success may feel good, you end up learning considerably more by failing. And by learning new things, you're able to reach higher than you ever saw yourself capable of.

Life is never fair, and it is essential to recognize that. Being able to push past struggle and keep working even when things are entirely stacked against you is extremely important.

2025-10-27 15:08:59 UTC

Failure can make you stronger- Don't be afraid to fail often: It's not a bad thing to fail, failing can teach you a lot of life lessons, because if you were to succeed all your life you wouldn't know how failure feels and i think its important to know how its like to fail and then grow from your failure and learn from it and better yourself.

2. You must dare greatly- Take Risks: Taking risks and stepping outside of your comfort zone to achieve great things is good because it's the only way to learn from your mistakes and grow.

2025-10-28 17:10:37 UTC

1-life's not always fair, move forward anyway. This is important because you must be strong minded enough that if one thing does not go your way, you don't lose track and motivation. Not everything will always go your way and that should never stop you from continuing on .

2- Failure can make you stronger. Some of our most important lessons come from what we learn when we fail because it teaches us what to do differently in the future and why certain things may not work. Without failure there is also less meaning to success because if you go your life without failing you will not learn or be as successful as someone who has the knowledge and experience of failure.

Two lessons

2025-10-28 17:10:53 UTC

1. Make your bed summary: I think making your bed every morning is essential because it's a good way to start your day and get things done. If everything didn't go how you planned, you can go back to your bed, the one thing you did right.

2. Lifes not always fair, move forward- I know that this is true because people have different advantages and opportunities than you do so its important to remember that you're not them so its not going to be fair, youre not always going to have the outcomes that youre wanting to have but you can always try to make best of the situation that youre in.

Don't Be Afraid to Fail- Failing is how you learn and how you can improve. But the important thing is to learn from your mistakes. If you fail and do not learn, you will be stuck in the same rut. However if you learn from your mistakes you can move forward.
Life is not Fair- There are many situations where you are unhappy with the results. But I worked harder, I made beter decisions ect. But if you never get over the fact that life is not fair you will never be able to move forward. Some things just happen to be unfair and you are going to have to accept that in order to thrive in life.

2025-10-28 19:17:53 UTC

Start your day with a task completed- If you start with a win you will continue to chase that feeling. If you start with a win and then fail you can still look back at that win and have hope. Starting your day with a small accomplishment no matter how small, will give you hope and encouragement.
You must dare greatly - Take Risks- With out risks you have no opportunity to gain. For something to hold value it must have the ability to loose it. Nothing worth something is without risk. The more risks and greater risks you take leads to more you can achieve and obtain more.

2025-11-03 16:24:21 UTC

You cant go at it alone - Find someone to help you through life: You need a support system that can help push you and be there in your life.
Failure can make you stronger: Failure is a part of life, and you have to make the best of different situations. Failure makes you work harder and can make you stronger if you keep going and strive for more.
