10 Things Students Can Learn From David Goggins.

David Goggins is a popular name among Americans. His attainment, flexibility and perseverance shows that any man can achieve anything with the right attitudes and action.

Just like many heroes, David was equally met with serious setbacks but turned that to stepping stones for great achievement.

A lot can be learnt from David, but I pinpointed 10 things that can be more beneficial to you from his life.

1)Perseverance.

David Goggins was rejected twice after failing a millitary test before he was accepted, but was still diagnosed for having sickle cells trait and got removed from the training after a long period of work.

David didn’t give up as he took another legal route to eventually join the Air Force. He served in Irag and Afghanistan where he saw most of his colleagues got bombed from an helicopter.

Despite the fearful situation and challenges, he explored American Air Force for 20years.

David Goggins was known and credited for his high level of perseverance.

2)Flexibility.

One of the common traits of majority in every society is rigidity. It is mostly a difficult task for majority to change attitude, job, orientation and a level of aspiration. Once they are configured to act in a certain way, they would remain like that until they enter the grave even if the situation is not favourable.

David reinvented himself many times. He ran a marathon, he raised $2million for a project, he ran 101 miles in 19 hours, he is famous as an author and many more.

The quicker you can change, the better your life situation can be.

3)Hardworking.

“If you want to master the mind and remove your governor, you will have to become addicted to hard work, Because passion and obsession, even talent are only useful tools if you have the work ethics to back them up”……. David Goggins.

The difference between winners and failure is attitude. Being at the top of the class has a lot to do with hard work than talent.

4)Desired goals.

When David was advised to start from the beginning after he had been removed from the military training, he refused to take the advice, not because he wanted to quit but because he believed in his goals and strategy to take a different route.

Having your own plan and staying committed to that is of vital Importance. Seeking for advice is good. But, you still need to follow your own plan and believe you can make it.

5)Knowledge acquisition.

David Goggins received educations at various stages during and after his military career. He was committed to learning and this shows in every of his achievement.

Adequate learning is an Important aspect of high achievement. Success and education are not separable.

6)Practical.

The beginning of knowledge is when you put what you learned into practise. Practice makes perfect. David is one of the most practical ever surfaced on earth.

Leaning is modified and completed when you practice extensively.

7)Continuity

Just like Goggins, success is what comes if you are not ready to give up no matter how tough the journey is.

8)Seeking good environment.

David Goggins was maltreated and abused by his father almost every day. He had to find a way to move out from him. He never allowed this to deter him from pursing his goals.

Success becomes almost unachievable if you find yourself being with negative people. You need to seek for ways to get away or reduce your contacts with them.

9)Exercise.

The rate in which exercise boosts energy and nourishes the body is enormous. He utilized this opportunity to invigorate brain for achievement in every angle.

High academic performance is also enhanced when you undergo proper exercise on a regular basis.

Your performance in every facet of life will see a good amount of improvement.

10)Commit to writing.

David Goggins didn’t turn a good writer or a author overnight. He has been a memoir writer before he broke into the limelight.

Studying and writing from your thought impact your brain enormously. The more you can cohesively articulate your thought, the better your memory can be.
