And I changed that word to prudent.

I want to be prudent.

I want to know where this vessel is and what happens if there's a tear in it and how I'm going to repair it.

Am I lucky or grateful?

I say to the West Point cadets, I say, some people you'd say, I'm lucky to be here.

I would say that denigrates everything you did to get here, okay?

Yes, there's some luck involved.

We were born in the genetic lottery to live in the United States, be born in the United States.

But it takes a lot to get into West Point.

And I think a better word would be grateful, grateful.

How about something hard or challenging?

Nobody likes to do something hard, but challenging?

I love doing challenging things.

So I think that our words, our language, not only reveals what we're thinking, it creates our reality.

And we see that.

I mean, look at Muhammad Ali talking about affirmations and how...

affirmations repeated over and over become beliefs and beliefs become action and become reality.

So I think that our brain has neuroplasticity.

It has the ability to rewire itself.

And unfortunately, we're all steeped in a culture that has some things wrong about it.
