COT:
Reflections on 23 years in the Navy:
1) Stay uncomfortable that is where you learn the most. Every new experience offers a growth opportunity.
“How can we ever know what we’re truly capable of if we’re not trying to do what we don’t think we can, every single day? And that means being afraid, and doing it anyway.” – Siri Lindley (2001 Triathlon World Champion)
2) Don’t fear mistakes, fiercely learn from them. Respect opportunities to learn and be intelligent enough to apply them.
“The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.” ― Theodore Roosevelt
3) Be observant with the humbleness to learn from your environment.
“It is necessary for us to learn from others’ mistakes. You will not live long enough to make them all yourself.” ―Hyman George Rickover
