Make your bed is almost one of the top recommendations by many online influencers on personality development and business. Therefore, I decided to kick off the new year by cultivating the habit of reading, starting with this book.

Little drops of water make the mighty ocean.

Julia Carney

In this book, the author underscores the importance of making and completing small decisions/tasks, emphasizing their ripple effect for a larger impact. Written by a retired US Navy 4-star admiral, the book delves into the 10 lessons he learned from his US Navy SEAL training, drawing relevant examples from his illustrious career. These 10 principles possess a universal appeal and can assist anyone irrespective of social & economic status, gender & race in navigating the challenges posed by life.

I enjoyed reading the book and its narrative style of writing. With a keen interest in the armed forces and the military way of life, I found the qualities of working in teams, taking risks, having courage, a never-give-up attitude, and maintaining hope—highlighted by the author—to be relatable by anyone striving for success in life.

If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed because if you can’t do the little things right, you will never be able to do the big things right

Admiral McRaven (Retd.)
