Simon Sinek believes true success lies within knowing why we do things, and great leaders are those that are able to communicate this to them. However, delete however since you agree with what he is saying. I believe understanding why we do things is directly associated with success in business and our lives. By building trust amongst employees and friends, this helps people invest in the company and the merchandise that it produces. In the Marine Corps, understanding why we do what we do is…

The Marine Corps, the world's finest fighting force. What comes to your mind when you hear this? Honor, courage, and commitment; these are virtues the Marine Corps lives by, and soon virtues myself and my fellow Marines will live by. The Marine Corps has always been extremely intriguing to me. The opportunity for travel, education, and the respect of your peers is what drew me to it most. It also offers me discipline and structure which I feel I am sometimes lacking in my life. The Marines are…

I can remember 2 years ago my friend Jade kept asking me to go and do workouts with him and his recruiter.
