Special Olympics Amazing Story - A Must Read... 60 second read
Seattle Special Olympics
A few years ago at the Seattle Special Olympics, ninecontestants, all physically or mentally disabled, assembled atthe starting line for the 100 yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but witha 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 wentback... everyone of them. One girl with Down's Syndrome bent downand kissed him and said," This will make it better." All nine linked in arms walked across the finish line together. Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for several minutes.
People who were there are still telling the story. Why? Because deep down we know one thing. What matters most in this life is more than winning forourselves. What truly matters in this life is helping others win, even if it means slowing down and changing our course.
