I attended our local Martin Luther King, Jr. breakfast yesterday and enjoyed the speech from Dr. William Blocker, of the Moody Bible Institute.  His message was Excellence:

A Plan
A Purpose
Passion

"If you are a street sweeper, be the best damned street sweeper there is."

Blocker shared the story of Bill Borden (read here):

No Reserve
No Retreat
No Regrets

That we all should take Borden's advice.
