Real life story that has won the hearts of millions across the world.
Unity is the strongest power that can bring smiles.
They Call Them Mentally
Challenged. And they call some of these people "retarded"...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 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 participant 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, and 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.
If you pass this on, we may be able to change our hearts as well as someone
else's. "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle"
Winning the cup in life is not a big thing, when compared to winning the Heart's...
