Rorke
Denver; Navy Seal spoke at Cookie's graduation. His mother has been
the coach at Desert Harbor for years. Rorke is the author of 'Damn
Few: Making the Modern SEAL Warrior' and was the lead actor in the
movie, 'Act of Valor'.
He
spoke to the students about a Life Theseus. The Life Theseus he
would have for them would have two parts. Part one is to BE
HARD. Fearing nothing. Taking that first step in each new avenue;
be brave, confident, strong. Part two is to WORK HARD.
Put your whole self into what ever you are going through. Take that
on the challenge, be the one that follows through, finish what you
start.
Mr
Denver told the kids two secrets. The secret to a Pain Free Life is
to think of others. The secret to a Rich Life is to always keep
good company.
He
also told the kids there is a list of things that they each need to
do in their life time. He said their parents wouldn't like everything
on the list. But he felt they each needed to accomplish everything on
the list.
Always be
on time
Use tools
Learn to
tie knots
Learn how
to start a fire
Learn to
drive a stick shift
Learn to
change a flat
Use
Vaseline (like if you get a blister from your new shoes, slap some
Vaseline on it and you are good to go)
Learn to
cook a meal. (Even a simple meal. If you start by heating butter and
garlic in a pan, no matter what the recipe. Your house will smell
great and everyone will love the meal)
Read A Lot
Manners
count, use them
Stitches
and a cast; everyone needs to go through the experience at least
once in their life
Be A Hero,
even if it is to help someone across the street. You are a hero to
