NFL or . . . neurosurgeon?

Myron Rolle (Florida State) has a chance to go play in the NFL but has chosen to forgo it . . . in order to be a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford and pursue a career in Neurosurgery!

You don't find too many kids anymore who will pass up the NFL for anything when it is dangled in their faces!

Rolle dreams big, works even harder - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

I'll argue the other way. He is absolutely brilliant. Neurosurgery will always be there. He could make MILLIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! by playing just 5 years in the NFL.

I know there is no way I could pass that up.

Thank you for sharing that. I just had a conversation about the ingredients of motivation and success with my oldest today, so I sent that on to her. Even though I'll never be a millionaire football star or neurosurgeon, he is a very inspiring young man!
