TWO INSPIRATIONAL WINNERS

Olympics is a life time achivement. Lawrence lemieux stopped racing in a yacht race to help a fellow competitor who was in trouble. The whole world was watching.

He was honoured by kings and queens around the world because he kept the spirit of Olympics alive.

Reuben Gonzales when he was in the final match of the racquet ball tournament. This was an important event and he was playing for the wolrd title. In his final game at match point, Gonzales played a super shot to save the point. The referee and the lineman both confirmed that the shot was good and he was decided as the wineer. But Gonzales after a little pause and hesitation, turned back to shake his opponent's hand and said " The shot was faulty". As a result he lost the serve and evantally the match.

Everyone was stunned. Who could imagine that a player with everything official in his favour, with winning in hs pocket, would disqualtiy himself and lose. When asked why he replied " It was the only thing to do in the order to maintain my integrity". He lost the match but still he is a winner

Wonders of the world

WONDERS OF THE WORLD (A GREAT STORY)

A teacher was encouraging her students to identify the seven wornders of the world. Watching a girl unable to pen them, she gave some clues to the girl.

Hinting about the great wall of china she said "Think of a wall that stood courageously against the hail storms and hurricanes" and continued describing panama canal "Irrespective of seasons it flow without stop against all odds".

The girl thought for a while and wrote. The teacher said. "Another wonder is a tower that slightly bent, but never accepts defeat. It leans but never falls". And then she gave about Taj Mahal. "People say it glitters in moon light. But if you have insight, you can see its glitter with your heart." The girl wrote. About Pyramids she pointed out "it is a monument, a symbol of concentration, science and hard work that time could never destory".

The teacher has been beckoned the girl to check what she wrote. The shy kid was hesitant, walked slowly abd showed the teacher her answers " Mahatma Gandhi .... Martin Luther King .... Mother Theresa ... Helen keller ... Albert Einstein"

Preflexed first, the teacher recovered to announce those names to other students. After a brief silence, the class room vibrated with claps and applauds !!!!

An Indian Negotiating with God

AN INDIAN NEGOTIATING WITH GOD

God came and asked me for a wish, I told GOD "Let all my friends be healthy and happy forever!" \

GOD said: But for 4 days only!

I said: Yes, let them be a Spring Day, Summer Day, Autumn Day, and Winter Day.

GOD said: 3 days...

I said: Yes, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

GOD said: No, 2 days!

I said: Yes, a Bright Day (Daytime) and Dark Day (Night-time).

GOD said: No, just 1 day!

I said: Yes!

GOD asked: Which day?

I said: Every Day in the living years of all my friends!

GOD laughed, and said: You INDIANS know how to negotiate. But since you are praying and asking happiness for your friends, I can't refuse. I love everyone who thinks of others first, so don't you worry.
