Blog reader James Jordan sent me a refreshing note this week.
It contained a story about Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford’s injury.
Heisman Trophy winner Bradford is out for up to four weeks.
He was injured in Oklahoma’s loss to BYU last week.
Florida’s Heisman winner Tim Tebow wished him a quick recovery.
So did Texas’ Colt McCoy who came in second in Heisman voting.
Even N.Y. Giants QB Eli Manning talked with Bradford.
All three of these quarterback rivals showed real class.
Bradford was considered a shoe-in for the NFL.
Instead, he elected to return to Oklahoma for his junior year.
That shows class, values and common sense.
I’ve been competitive all my life.
It’s a big reason I love journalism.
Journalism has given me every chance to compete.
Bill West and I competed on rival newspapers years ago.
We continued as friends as well as fierce competitors.
Now Bill works with us and is our unofficial morale officer.
Competition is healthy. Enjoy it. Let it make you better.
Respect your competitor. But out-work him. Out-smart him.
Out-everything you can to serve your clients and community.

What's your life sentence?
Claire Booth Luce challenged her friends to write a life sentence.
"Summarize your life in one sentence," she urged.
Mrs. Luce was an accomplished actress, writer and diplomat.
She was married to Henry Luce, founder of Time magazine.
With a magazine entitled Time, time had to be on her mind.
Her challenge is one worth addressing.
Summarize the importance of your life in a single sentence.
What would you write? How often would you rewrite it.
A single sentence forces us to focus on what’s important.
What is our life’s purpose? What have we done with it?
That's your life sentence. Write it as if you've done it.
For help, read my book "Your Life’s Great Purpose".
It was written for one reason alone.
It will help you find your great purpose in life.
My Midlands Tech course is based on this book.
In seven weeks starting tomorrow, find your great purpose.
Classes meet 6-8 p.m. at MTC’s Harbison Campus.
