“Every morning in basic training, instructors showed up in
the barracks. The first thing they’d inspect was your bed. If you did it right
corners would be square, covers tight, and pillow centered just under the headboard.
It was a simple task but every morning we were required to do it to
perfection. If you make your bed every
morning you’ll have accomplished the day’s first task. It’ll give you a small sense of pride and encourage
you to do others. By the end of the day, that one task will have turned into
many tasks completed. Making your bed teaches that little things matter. If you
can't do little things right, you’ll never tackle the big things. If by chance
you have a miserable day, you’ll come home to a made bed. A made bed is
encouragement that tomorrow will be better. If you want to change the world,
start by making your bed.” – Admiral William H. McRaven, head of Navy SEALS
