"Improvise. Adapt. Overcome."
I watched a show on TV about training for military special forces in which the trainers put men through obstacle courses in such a way that the only way they could survive and complete the training was to find ways to break the rules. For example, they would not make it without going off the trails to find and drink water. It was forbidden to do this. Those who put survival ahead of rules not only reached the end, they reached their goal of becoming special forces.
Anyone who knows the military knows that breaking rules is usually not a shortcut to a grand career.
"Improvise. Adapt. Overcome." Indeed.
Outstandingly magnificent quote from Gunny Hiway
