3. WARM UP 10-21-2014 Admiral McRaven’s Life Lesson #4 “If you want to change the world, get over being a sugar cookie and keep moving forward.”  Some days no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, things will not turn out as planned. Failure will be experienced, and because we are not perfect as human beings, we need to prepare for that situation. The “sugar cookie” exercise in Navy SEAL training is designed to put the trainee into this environment to learn how to push through to the end of the day and survive the ordeal. So when we have a bad day, push through it and look forward to having a better day tomorrow.  Write about a time in which you prepared, practiced, and/or planned for something and it did NOT turn out well. What did you (or could you) learn from that experience? Explain in ½ page or more.
