Do you want to change your life and change the world to make it a better place? William McRaven has some good ideas about how to do this.

He says don’t be afraid to try new things that are difficult. Also, he says never give up, and never quit when something is difficult. Many people agree that these are very good ideas. 

But, Admiral McRaven also has another idea. His idea is not common. He says that you must make your bed every morning to change the world. He gives two reasons for this. 

First, after you make your bed you will want to do more work, and then more work ... and then more work. This is important because you must do lots of work when you want to change the world.

Second, sometimes work or school is not easy and you will feel bad — but when you come home and see a beautiful bed, you will feel happy. When you are happy, you will not be afraid to try difficult things tomorrow. Tomorrow, you will go back to work or school and feel great.

Make your bed every day, says Admiral McRaven, and you can change your life and change the world!
