Life rewards action, not intelligence. Many brilliant people talk themselves out of getting started, and being smart doesn't help very much without the courage to act. You can't win if you're not in the game.

Brooks has 4 majors. Rory has 4 majors. Spieth has 3 majors. Collin has 2 majors. JT has 2 majors. Rahm now has 2 majors. The post-Tiger generation have given us such a fun run of parity. But also greatness. They’re all doing their thing. And all have plenty more in the tank.

True story: two journalism students at Seneca College in Toronto on Wednesday were honing their craft in studio. Ryan Reynolds, who was getting a tour of the school at the time, not only dropped by to say hello, but contributed to the broadcast. This guy’s amazing.
