About This Quote

The difference between those who adapt and those who don't, Gorton said, was a willingness to totally commit. The story he told came from his time as a Ranger in Vietnam. As part of a squad that was ambushed, he said, he had to crawl into the jungle to escape. He could have left his squad behind.

He could have kept running. But he didn’t. He chose to stay with his squad and return to fight another day.

Sometimes, Gorton said, you have to do the right thing even when doing so is painful or difficult.
