The Importance of Discipline

I think the training that you received in the Navy certainly helped is my belief. If you have no goals in your life, nothing that's meaningful and purposeful for you to work toward, what the hell are you going to be disciplined about? You're going to be kind of like just drifting one way or the other. I was lucky in the fact that I wasn't really great at anything. When I got to the SEAL teams, if I didn't work hard, I was going to look like an idiot... So I had to just work hard to be ready for stuff. That definitely influenced my path quite a bit.
