A young man, participated in a 400-meter race in the Barcelona summer Olympics. The race was started; however, the disappointment has come about 250 meters from finish. His hamstring tore, he halts his race, he fell on the ground with pain…. he was broken, can’t be able to stop his tears, somebody has won the game.
The race was over to the world, but not for him…with pain he stood up and started running, his injury can’t be able to stop him. He determined to finish the race. His pain was unbearable, but he still continued the race. Suddenly, a person from the crowd, fighting with the back security rushed towards the young man…. he was none other than the young man’s father.
“You don’t have to do this“, he told to his weeping son. “Yes, I do“, the young man declared. “Well then” replied his father, “We are going to finish this…. together“.
He stood by his son…. he stood by his dreams……he stood with him…The father wrapped his arms around his son and helped him to finish the race. They did it together. The young man finished his race with the help of his father. The young man was burst out. There was a big round of applause…. the audience were on the cloud nine…!!!!!
Derek Redmond may noy have finished in first place, but however managed to complete his race.
From this story, I have learnt how to chase our dreams…. never quit…. we need to overcome the pebbles in our life and not only these things, but I have inspired from his story.
