Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel addressed Naval Academy graduates last week during their commencement ceremonies and he gave them three pieces of advice. One, “connect with people on a personal level”, two, “try to understand perspectives that are different from yours” and three, “be humble”. He also cautioned them about pressure saying, “Once you take up your duty stations and the responsibility of leadership, you will find yourselves under tremendous pressures you’ve never experienced.”
