Some time back, a Sports Meet was conducted for physically & mentally handicapped children. In one race, 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. One little boy stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times, and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy crying. 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, and the cheering went on for several minutes. People, who were there, are still telling the story to many others.
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."A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle".
