To me the best part is number 10.
"Finally, in SEAL training there is a bell. A brass bell that hangs in the center of the compound for all the students to see.
All you have to do to quit—is ring the bell. Ring the bell and you no longer have to wake up at 5 o’clock. Ring the bell and you no longer have to do the freezing cold swims.
Ring the bell and you no longer have to do the runs, the obstacle course, the PT—and you no longer have to endure the hardships of training.
Just ring the bell.
#10. If you want to change the world don’t ever, ever ring the bell."
Oh, the times I've been on the point of giving up! In particular Med school. But a voice always came to my mind, asking then what? So I knew I had to keep going. I regret nothing. No one could regret not giving up. Awesome post, didn't know about it, will be on of my top 3 bookmarks. Thank you.
That is truly inspirational. I have a message that provokes a great deal of hate and anger in people. But my focus is driven by such a force that I cannot ring the bell. It would be easier to just quietly do what I had to to help my child and not to take a stand. I owe it to him to keep going because I do want to change the world. Not so much for me, but for my children. I will not ring the bell.
