2. Short video I'm rewatching –
Tim Tebow's 'Promise' Speech
Ask not what your team can do for you...My dad recently recirculated this video of Tim Tebow's speech following the Gator's 31-30 home loss to Ole Miss in 2008. Florida went on to win the rest of their games that year, including a 24-14 win over Oklahoma to capture the National Championship. #GoGators
Watch one of college football's greatest leadership moments.

3. Phrase I'm loving –
Kia Ora - An everyday Māori greeting filled with meaning
I just spent a month backpacking around New Zealand, where you're greeted with a booming Kia Ora! around every turn. Māori was the language spoken before colonists arrived and it's making a resurgence today, with white New Zealanders and indigenous people alike greeting one another in the country's native tongue.
Arekatera Maihi explains, "It's really important to acknowledge a person. By using the words 'Kia Ora' we acknowledge not just them, but everything about them including where they come from and who they come from."

4. Quote worth thinking about –
"To do two things at once is to do neither."
— Publilius Syrus
