Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was only a few meters from the finish line, but got confused with the signs and stopped, thinking he had finished the race.
A Spanish man, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was going on, started shouting to the Kenyan to keep running. Mutai did not know Spanish and did not understand.
Realizing what was going on, Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory.

A reporter asked Ivan, "Why did you do this?"
Ivan replied, "My dream is that one day we can have some sort of community life where we push ourselves and help each other win."
The reporter insisted, "But why did you let the Kenyan win?"
Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win. The race was his."

The reporter insisted and asked again, "But you could have won!"
Ivan looked at him and replied: "But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of this medal? What would my Mother think of it?"

A great lesson he taught us that no victory is more valuable than being honest. While most of us take advantage of people's weaknesses, but true strengthen lies in helping them...!!

रास्ते पर कंकड़ ही कंकड़ हो तो भी एक अच्छा जूता पहनकर चला जा सकता है... यदि एक अच्छे जूते के अंदर एक भी कंकड़ हो तो एक अच्छी सड़क पर भी कुछ कदम चलना भी मुश्किल होता है...!!
यानी बाहर की चुनौतियों से नहीं, हम अपनी अंदर की 'कमजोरियों' से हारते हैं...!!

Think Success, Reap Success...!!

मौत खड़ी थी सर पर,
इसी इंतजार में थी,
ना झूकेगा ध्वज मेरा,
स्वतन्त्रता दिवस के मौके पर...!

तू ठहर इंतजार कर,
लहराने दे बुलंद इसे,
मैं एक दिन और लड़ूंगा,
मौत तेरे से...!

मंजूर नही है कभी मुझे,
झुके तिरंगा स्वतंत्रता के मौके पर...!!

कोटि-कोटि नमन _/\_
भारत रत्न, आदरणीय वाजपेयी जी...💐
