Jocko Willink and Jordan Peterson
(5 minutes)
Jocko is a Navy Seal and Peterson is a Psychologist/Philosopher, and they have learned the same lessons of responsibility along their paths. I appreciate being able to watch these two talk about individual responsibility and understand two different perspectives on the topic. Peterson’s message is to take on responsibility by starting with yourself and slowly expanding your area of influence. Success will come from starting with cleaning your room and meeting your daily requirements (chores, schedule, homework, learning, family time, environment, etc.) before attempting to sort the lives of others or fix the world.

First sort out the things that you can actually sort out and then grow your realm of influence
