Answer 1

Hey red beret. Airborne! I read some of the answers to your question and my goodness, they sound so negative.

My answer, after 6 years in the Army and two tours in Iraq, to your question is yes. Here are the things I've learned in the Army that apply to everyday life:

You are obligated to protect yourself, your equipment and your team at all costs (that applies physically, mentally and emotionally).

Make a decision and follow through. You can always 'adjust fire' as you go.

There is no such thing as "I can't." I once saw a couple of troops build a shower out of a water cooler, a ladder, a pallet, a showerhead and duct tape. If they can do that, you can do anything!

Clean up after yourself, take care of your body.

Say 'yes ma'am' and 'yes, sir.' It throws people off.

Stand up straight and look people in the eye when you talk to them. They'll give you the respect you deserve as a human being.

Remember the Army values: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selflessness, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. I don't think anyone could argue that these things are important in families, sports teams, workplaces, schools, etc.

My favorite is the after-action review. After every mission, the team would sit down and each person would say three things we did well and three things we could improve upon. It's a great way to improve yourself without beating yourself up if you made mistakes.

Answer 2

Read a book called "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.... its a very old book written back in the Tang dynasty. Today, it is foundational knowledge for alot of our world leaders and military policies. It may be a bit hard to follow for some, so there is many versions to help you understand. This is the perfect book for what you want to learn. Its exactly why I bought it.

Answer 3

Follow these simple instrutions that Bush follows every day.

1. Invest all your money in lost cause, lie about the investment, saying its a good cause, and it the right thing to do.

2. When the investment goes bad, lie about it, saying it is getting better.

3. Do not get out of the investment, but ride it to the ground.

4. Everyone wont hate you now, but wait ten years, and everyone will realize how stupid you were.

5. You will be elected the worst invester of all time. Worse than a cheating investor, worse than a lying investor.

Answer 4

the art of war is a standard book and many have applied these principals to business and to life, just as many apply ideas from chess to life or war.

Answer 6

I'll explain it to you. Go kill your local gas station owner and take his oil, then tell every one you did it to liberate his employees. And tell them you have to kill all other gas station owners because they are all terroists.
