Here goes a story from anonymous author:

A few years ago at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants — all physically or mentally challenged — 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, 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 cheered — the cheering went on for several minutes."

People who were there are still telling the story. Because deep down we know this one thing — it is the truth we all feel but rarely act upon:

"True success is not found in winning for ourselves, but in helping others win—even if it means slowing our pace to change our course."
