    Excellence is inspiring. Excellence is Myron Rolle. His story after the jump.

    *******


    A while ago I read this article in ESPN about a man named Myron Rolle. I was so inspired by his story I set it to my homepage. So that every time I opened up my browser I would know exactly what excellence is. So I would be inspired into its pursuit.

    Oxford at first light is an ode to potential. The purple sky throws shadows off churches and their saw-blade spires, bringing definition to the gap-toothed smiles of crenellated walls. The ghosts come out in the dream of early morning. Twelve saints and seven British prime ministers walked these streets. So did Bill Clinton and John Donne, Sir Thomas More and Kris Kristofferson, plus the guy who invented the World Wide Web.

    Head on over to the ESPN article, its much prettier.

    Enjoy. And discuss!
