Help others win

A few years ago at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100 yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to run the race to the finish and win. All, that is, except one boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times and began to cry.

The other eight heard the boy. They slowed down and looked back. They all turned around and went back. Every one of them. One girl with Down’s Syndrome bent down and kissed him and said, “This will make it better.” All nine linked arms and walked across the finish line together. Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for several minutes.

    Story was good and we should learn a lesson from this story and we should try to help in others win. We should not feel jealous in others win.

    This should teach a lot of people.

    It is so simple yet we make things and life so complicated.

    Cheers to those kids.

    Winning, all the times, does not matter. Sometimes helping others gives an immense amount of satisfaction.

  • Therese April 27, 2011, 9:03 am

    The conclusion is, we all belong to one another. What’s good for you is good for me. In helping you up, I’ve helped myself up…It’s about love, wanting the best for everyone.
