******ETHICS & HONESTY WITH YOURSELF*****
In a race (see picture bellow) ,athlete Abel Mutai representing Kenya,was just a few feet from the finish line ,but he was confused with the signage & stopped thinking that he had completed the race . The Spanish athlete Ivan Fernandez was right behind him & realizing what was happening ,he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running ,but Mutai didn't know Spanish and couldn't understand .Then the Spanish pushed him to victory . A journalist asked Ivan , "why did you do that ?" Ivan replied "My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life ". The journalist insisted "But why did you let the Kenyan win?" .Ivan replied ," I didn't let him win ,he was going to win" . the journalist insisted again "But you could have won!" ,Ivan looked at him and replied "But what would be my merit of victory ? what would be the honour of that Medal ? What would my Mom think of that ?" .
Notes - Values are transmitted from generation to generation .
what values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways & means to "win"...
Just a thought...
Think about it...
