1) Keep your priorities in order
2) Know when to act without hesitation.
A Navy SEAL was attending some college courses between assignments. He had
completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor
who was an avowed atheist. One day he shocked the
class when he came in, looked to the ceiling, and flatly stated, "God, if you
are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly
15 minutes." The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten
minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm still
waiting." It got down to the last couple of minutes when the SEAL got out of
his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the
platform. The professor was out cold. The SEAL went back to his seat and sat
there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there
looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken,
looked at the SEAL and asked, "What the hell is the matter with you? Why did
you did that?" The SEAL calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting
America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid crap and act
like an ass. So He sent me."
(This is a joke.)
