It's been nearly 40 years since I became a member of the navy (海军). You may be wondering how I have won so many honors as a commander-in-chief (最高统帅). In fact, it all began from the half a year's basic training, which I will never forget. The training included midnight swims in the cold water, days without 1 and long painful runs in the soft sand. I always felt cold, wet, hungry and painful.
The training also needed to find those who could 2 in an environment of stress, mess, failure and hardships. To me, the basic training was a lifetime of challenges that lasted six months.
And today, I'd like to talk about one little thing.
Every morning in the training, my instructors (教官) would appear in our rooms. The first thing they did was to 3 our beds. The corners would be square if we did it right. The covers would be pulled tight, and the pillow would be centered just under the headboard.
It was a difficult task. But every morning we were required to make our beds 4. It seemed a little funny, but the wisdom of this simple act has been proved to me many times over.
If you make your bed every morning, you will have completed the first task of the day. It will bring you a small 5 of success, and it will encourage you to do another task, and another and another. And by the end of the day, one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed.
Making your bed will prove the fact. If you can't do the 6 things right, you will hardly be able to do the big things right.
Changing the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. I can make sure that it doesn't matter whether I ever 7 a day in uniform (制服,军服). Even now, I still start my day with making the bed to perfection. So if you have an awful day by accident, you will come home to a bed that is made—that you made—and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.
In general, if you want to change the world, 8 off by making your bed. I hope all of you will have a brighter future!
