Describe your Perfect Day.

Finding middle ground
What’s your life motto?
Never Ring the Bell – when General McRaven gave the commencement speech at the University of Texas, he applied lessons he learned in Navy Seal training to daily life. He stated, “All you have to do in Navy Seal training to quit is ring a brass bell that hangs in the center of the compound.” His advice was to prevail in life you must have tenacity, be relentless in pursuing your goals, and most importantly never give up. He said, “If you want to change the world, don’t ever, ever ring the bell.”
