Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a Navy SEAL's inspiring graduation speech, this #1 New York Times bestseller of powerful life lessons "should be read by every leader in America" (Wall Street Journal). If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments. "Powerful." --USA Today "Full of captivating personal anecdotes from inside the national security vault." --Washington Post "Superb, smart, and succinct." --Forbes

Download or read book Up to Their Necks - the Story of a National Serviceman written by Joe P. Plant and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beginning of the Cold War began within days of the end of the Second World War, yet conscription still continued to replace the demobilisation of the existing armed forces still serving in war-torn Europe, the middle and Far East territories of the British Empire. Who better to replace them than over two million eligible eighteen year old young men who were thoroughly enjoying their freedom until a brown envelope fluttered through the letterbox informing: YOU'RE CONSCRIPTED LADDIE. This is a factual and personal story about the camaraderie that quickly developed among many during their enforced National Service. They did not want to do it, but I am sure that they, like me, had some great times apart from the shit that was dished out! I sincerely trust that the chapters within my story do relate to similar incidents, albeit under different circumstances, that occurred to thousands of others. For all of us it was a period of you had to do it. No ifs or buts and for many that did enjoy that way of life, and did re-enlist, good luck to them. Nevertheless, I can honestly say that I now look back with pride that I became one of the millions of young conscripts who did survive to tell the tale.

Book excerpt: With WW2 over with, and the Korean War winding down, crack Canadian troops were posted to cadet camps throughout Canada. These battle-ready soldiers were told they would be training cadets and they assumed their charges would be officer cadets. Not so - the cadets were much younger, but this didn't matter. Although the corporals, sergeants, sergeant majors and officers had never worked with teenagers before, they decided to train them the only way they knew ... with discipline. Stand by Your Beds is the hilarious and heart-warming story of seven cadets approximately 14 and 15 years old attending a military summer camp that holds 1200 for six weeks during the summer. What summer? Any summer, because kids are the same in all countries, and the antics they get into flow from their youth. Stand by Your Beds is dedicated to all cadets and members of the armed forces of Canada, the USA, Great Britain, NATO countries, and NATO'S cooperating countries, particularly Australia, and New Zealand. In Stand by Your Beds seven boys form a closely-knit group to survive the rigors of military life far away from home. The boys feel that if they work as a team, they'll be able to endure the corporals, sergeants, and officers training them. To say the least, those arms are not the same as the loving arms of the boys' mothers who said goodbye earlier. So sit back, put your feet up, and relax. A moment after you start reading, you'll want to be a teenager again. Oh yes, and you can laugh out loud if you want. Chuckling is good for your health, but laughing is even better. Everyone will enjoy this book.

Download or read book Acceptable words written by Jeffrey Wainwright and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoffrey Hill has said that some great poetry 'recognises that words fail us'. These essays explore Hill's struggle over fifty years with the recalcitrance of language. This book seeks to show how all his work is marked by the quest for the right pitch of utterance whether it is sorrowing, angry, satiric or erotic. It shows how Hill's words are never lightly 'acceptable' but an ethical act, how he seeks out words he can stand by - words that are 'getting it right'. This book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date critical work on Geoffrey Hill so far, covering all his work up to ‘Scenes from Comus’ (2005), as well as some poems yet to appear in book form. It aims to contribute something to the understanding of his poetry among those who have followed it for many years and students and other readers encountering this major poet for the first time.
