Net n gedagte
Dink oor die een Gloudina
Reenen van Niekerk
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 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.
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"
So what ya gonna do? pass it on or delete it...?
