Admiral William McRaven

Video: It is a simple short message. A clear call for fundamental human hope in a time common culture appears bereft of anchors in reason, civility or history. Admiral William McRaven, a University of Texas graduate who served with SEAL Team 3, delivered a powerful speech last weekend, laying out 10 life lessons for grads if they want “to change the world.”

Yes, while most national media worship fame over wisdom, a shinning exception to the pointlessness amid chaos is The Blaze where this story was first found. A tip of the hat then to TheBlaze.com and our appreciation for Admiral McRaven.

His family and friends in spirit across the Red River and throughout America thank him for his service and his wisdom. Even though we make that hand sign with the fingers pointed down… his speech lifted our spirits – a significant blessing we will pass to others to change the world.
