In this concise, well-crafted memoir, there is not one wasted word. Retired Admiral McRaven shares candidly his thoughts and personal experiences concerning the making of a hero. Mentioning some outstanding people by name, and others only by the duties they performed, readers will get a clear sense of what being a hero means to this talented soldier and author. As a young boy, Superman was his epitome of a hero. As an adult, he altered his opinion in that the courageous men and women he met in his everyday life as a career Navy man were true super men and women, heroes everyone. But he goes on to say that all people can strive to be the hero they need to be, for themselves and for the world. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! From the acclaimed, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Make Your Bed--a short, inspirational book about the qualities of true, everyday heroes. THE HERO CODE is Admiral McRaven's ringing tribute to the real, everyday heroes he's met over the years, from battlefields to hospitals to college campuses, who are doing their part to save the world. When Bill McRaven was a young boy growing up in Texas, he dreamed of being a superhero. He longed to put on a cape and use his superpowers to save the earth from destruction. But as he grew older and traveled the world, he found real heroes everywhere he went -- and none of them had superpowers. None of them wore capes or cowls. But they all possessed qualities that gave them the power to help others, to make a difference, to save the world: courage, both physical and moral; humility; a willingness to sacrifice; and a deep sense of integrity. THE HERO CODE is not a cypher, a puzzle, or a secret message. It is a code of conduct; lessons in virtues that can become the foundations of our character as we build a life worthy of honor and respect. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
