Humanity

A few weeks ago NIMH (National Institute of Mentally Handicapped ,

Hyderabad, INDIA) had conducted a sports meet for all the Physically
& mentally handicapped children at National Stadium Hyderabad.In one
race.., Nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled,They
assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun,
they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to
run the race to the finish and win. All, that is, except one little
boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times,and
began to cry.

The other eight heard the boy cry. They slowed down and looked back.
Then they all turned around and went back......every one of them.
One girl with Down's Syndrome bent down and kissed him and
said, "This will make it better." Then all nine linked arms and
walked together to the finish line.

Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for several
minutes.People who were there are still telling the story.

Why??

Because deep down we know this one thing: What matters in this life
is more than winning for ourselves. What matters in this life is
helping others win,even if it means slowing down and changing our
course.

If you pass this on, we may be able to change our hearts as well as
someone else's. "A candle loses nothing by lighting another
candle" " Please tell others about it - at least to the people who
will understand the meaning of the message.
