“SEAL training was always about proving something. Proving that size didn't matter. Proving that the color of your skin wasn't important. Proving that money didn't make you better. Proving that determination and grit were always more important than talent.”

“It is easy to blame your lot in life on some outside force, to stop trying because you believe fate is against you.

The common people and the great men and women are all defined by how they deal with life's unfairness.”
