Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”

The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

@ericcrawford Truth Bomb: What separates great athletes isn't always talent. Sometimes it's what they do with disappointment.

Before he became Louisville’s latest NCAA champion, Geoffrey Kirwa ran 12 kilometers a day.

Not for training.

To get to school.

The remarkable journey of a Kenyan runner who arrived at UofL with a backpack, a scholarship and a dream.

Huge loss for us in Kentucky today. The Riherds scoreboard and statistics website was a MASSIVE resource for media, coaches and fans in KY. A big thank you and shoutout to Frank Riherd for all his hard work on this over the years and we wish you good health and prosperity 🙏

On this day in 1775, a tall Virginia planter accepted a job that should have ruined him, and instead it made a nation.

The day before, Congress had voted to create a Continental Army out of the militia swarming around Boston. Now they needed someone to lead it, and the choice was not obvious. There were older men, more experienced men, men who had commanded larger forces. But the colonies had a deeper problem than experience. New England was already carrying the fight, and if a New Englander took command, the southern colonies might never fully commit. The cause needed a leader who could bind thirteen suspicious, squabbling colonies into one army.

George Washington had been quietly attending the Continental Congress in his old military uniform, a silent signal that he was ready to serve. On June 15, 1775, John Adams rose and nominated him. The Virginian was chosen unanimously.

What he did next tells you everything. He stood before Congress and confessed he did not believe himself equal to the command. Then he refused a salary, asking only that his expenses be covered. This was not false modesty. He genuinely understood the odds. He was about to lead untrained farmers, with no navy, no reliable money, and no real government, against the most powerful military empire on the planet.

He would lose New York. He would retreat across New Jersey in the dead of winter with his army melting away around him. He would go years without a clear victory. And he would never quit.

Eight years later the empire surrendered, and the man who doubted himself in June of 1775 walked away from power instead of seizing it, stunning the world. 251 years ago today, the American experiment got the one leader it could not have survived without.

On June 13, 1777, a 19-year-old French teenager landed on a beach in South Carolina, uninvited, to fight in someone else's war. He would become one of the most important men in American history.

The Marquis de Lafayette was one of the richest young aristocrats in France. He had a beautiful wife, a fortune, and zero reason to risk any of it. But he believed in the American cause so fiercely that when the French king forbade him from going, Lafayette bought his own ship and sailed anyway. He literally went AWOL from a life of luxury to bleed for a country that didn't exist yet.

Congress was annoyed at first. Another foreign officer looking for a paycheck? Then Lafayette offered to serve for free and pay his own way. That got their attention.

He met Washington and the two formed one of the great father-son bonds in American history. Washington had no biological children. Lafayette named his only son George Washington Lafayette.

He took a bullet in the leg at Brandywine and kept rallying the retreat. He was instrumental at Yorktown, the battle that won the war. He went home a hero on two continents.

A foreign teenager believed in America before America did. 249 years ago today.
