What Matters In Life Author Unknown
Some people understand life better
And they call some of these people "retarded"...
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 little boy who stumbled on the
asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times, and began to cry.
The other eight heard the boy cry.
They slowed down and looked back. Then 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."
Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish
line.
Everyone in the stadium stood, the cheering went on for
several minutes. People who were there are still telling the
story... Why? Because deep down we know this one thing: What
matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves.
What matters in this life is helping others win, even if it
means slowing down and changing our course.
