Keep your priorities in order and know when to act without hesitation.
A Navy SEAL was attending some college courses between assignments.
He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a
member of the ACLU. One day he shocked the class when he came in,
looked to the ceiling, and flatly stated, "God, if you are real,
then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly
15 minutes." The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin
drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am
God. I'm still waiting."
It got down to the last couple of minutes when the SEAL got out of
his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking
him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The SEAL went back
to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked
and stunned and sat there looking on in silence.
The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the
SEAL and asked, "What the hell is the matter with you? Why did you
do that?" The SEAL calmly replied, "God was too busy today
protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say
stupid stuff and act like a jerk.
So He sent me."
