Two Inspirational Winners

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. His priority of safety for other people's lives was greater than his desire to win. Even though he did not win the race, he was a winner. He won the hearts of millions of people. 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
"Life is like a rose. life was meant to have its own thorns.let the beauty of rose inspires you. Don't let the thorns to discourage you"
