Are you too passive in your daily decision making? Learn to be aggressive, in a good way. Each day we are faced with numerous decisions. Indecision is just as bad or worse than making the wrong decision. Often times the right path may not be very clear to us. In these types of situations, error on the aggressive side.

Can you imagine having a lifetime exemption to the Masters and forgoing your opportunity to play at least 2 rounds per year at Augusta?! Sir Nick Faldo, one of golfs greatest players, has stopped playing competitive golf. I hope he'll read my letter and consider getting back out onto the course.

A Super Conference is once place to start! While this author has Florida in over LSU, you get the point.
Major League Baseball is a capitalistic, for-profit enterprise. One of the biggest misconceptions about Major League Baseball seems to be that teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies and Dodgers "buy their players" in an effort to win world championships.
Major league baseball needs to seriously reevaluate their ridiculous best-of-5 playoff format in the Division Series. To lower variance and truly give determine the better team, the Division Series should be a best-of-7 series, like every other playoff series on the planet.
Apparently the Boston Red Sox think they are the Yankees in the sense that they are supposed to compete for a World Series Championship every year. Back off, Boston, you should be worshipping the guy who brought you 2 titles in 8 years. You aren't the Yankees and you never will be.
