An attitude being built of never giving up that will hopefully never leave me from a book I am reading called "Lone Survivor" - Marcus Luttrell.
Background of it is, Marcus has trained ten years to be a navy SEAL, they are called into action only when things get tough and are given dangerous jobs. Woken up at four oclock in the morning everyday for four years, bed at 12 o'clock.
Best passage of the book you need to take a lesson from.
"One time during Indoc while we were out on night run, one of the instructors actually climbed up the outside of a building, came through an open window, and absolutely trashed a guys room, threw everything everywhere, emptied detergent over his bed gear. He went back out the way he came in, waited for everyone to return, and then tapped on the poor guys door and demanded a room inspection. The guy couldnt work out whether to be furious or heartbroken, but he spent most of the night cleaning up and still had to be in the showers at 4:30 with the rest of us.
I asked Reno about this weeks later, and he told me... Marcus, the body can take damn near anything. Its the mind that needs training. The question that guy was being asked involved mental strength. Can you handle such injustice? Can you cope with that kind of unfairness, that much of a setback? And still come back with your jaw set, still determined, swearing to God you will never quit? Thats what we are looking for".
