Everyone Can Be a Winner

Several years ago at the Special Olympics, nine young contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, 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.

It was a good race, and all were hurrying toward the finish line not far ahead of them. All, that is, except one boy who suddenly stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times, and lay there crying.

The other eight contestants heard his cries. They slowed down and looked back. Then they all turned around and went to him. Everyone of them.

One girl with Down's Syndrome bent down and kissed the boy and said, "This will make it better." Then all nine linked arms and walked across the finish line together.

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 truly matters in life is more than winning for ourselves—it's helping others to win, even if it means slowing down and changing our course. That's what makes a true winner, helping others to win.

Fact of the Day: Alarm Clocks

Did you know...

Ben Franklin wasn't the only historical figure who believed in waking up early. Levi Hutchins of New Hampshire was so eager to be up and at 'em by 4:00 a.m. that he invented the first modern mechanical alarm clock in 1787. Leonardo da Vinci used an alarm clock hundreds of years before that. His version consisted of a tube that slowly dripped water into a receptacle. When it was full, a system of levers would raise da Vinci's feet in the air to rouse him.

THE COFFEE OR THE CUP

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: 'If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source

of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee.

Brew the coffee, not the cups . . .. Enjoy your coffee!

I do fear an army of sheep, if they are led by a lion."

Been frustrated with the office printer? Hope it doesnt become this bad!

Inspiration: Thank You Lord

Thank You, Lord
 
Lord, thank you for this sink of dirty dishes; we have plenty of food to eat. Thank you for this pile of dirty, stinky laundry; we have plenty of nice clothes to wear. And I would like to thank you, Lord, for those unmade beds; they were so warm and comfortable last night. I know that many have no bed.

My thanks to you, Lord, for this bathroom, complete with all the splattered mirrors, soggy, grimy towels and dirty lavatory; they are so convenient. Thank you for this finger-smudged refrigerator that needs cleaning. It has served us faithfully for many years. It is full of cold drinks and enough leftovers for two or three meals. Thank you, Lord, for this oven that absolutely must be cleaned today; It has baked so many things over the years.

The whole family is grateful for that tall grass that needs mowing; we all enjoy the yard. My kids are healthy and able to run and play. Lord, the presence of all these chores awaiting me says You have richly blessed my family. I shall do them cheerfully and I shall do them gratefully.

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings, Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf. Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind. Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising, thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden. Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, and tempers are short, my children are so loud, Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times not balanced, there are many who are hungry. Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous, thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job. Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest, Thank you, Lord, for life.

"In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, always give thanks for everything to God the Father." Ephesians 5:20 (GNB)

Joke: Are You Qualified?

A man who is an avid golfer finally gets a once-in-a-lifetime chance for an audience with the Pope. After standing in line for hours, he gets to the Pope and says, "Holiness, I have a question that only you can answer. You see, I love golf, and I feel a real need to know if there is a golf course in heaven. Can you tell me if there is?"

The Pope considers for a moment, and says, "I do not know the answer to your question, my son, but I will talk to God and get back to you."The next day the man is called for another audience with the Pope to receive the answer to his question. He stands before the Pope, who says, "My son, I have some good news and some bad news in relation to your question. The good news is that heaven has the most fabulous golf course that you could imagine and is in eternally perfect shape."

"And what's the bad news?" asks the man.

"You tee-off tomorrow morning," the Pope replies.

Impreza - Sticks to the Sky?

A good friend of mine sent this picture from Birmingham, UK. He had to slap himself a few times to check if his eyes were playing tricks on him, before whipping out his camera to take this wonderful shot on a truck carrying brand new Imprezza's.


From a photographer's point of view, this is a wonderful picture. But the first thing my friend asked was, could the car axles and joints stand the reverse loading? Obviously he's an engineer, and a very good one at it!

Thanks Robert. This is a classic picture.

Ladies, Send This Letter to Your Dad When You Have A Bad Report Card from School

A father passing by his teenage daughter's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was neat and tidy. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the centre of the pillow. It was addressed 'Dad'. With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands.......

Dear Dad,

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you, but I'm leaving home. I had to elope with my new boyfriend Randy because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I've been finding real happiness with Randy and he is so nice to me. I know when you meet him you'll like him too - even with all his piercing, tattoos, and motorcycle clothes. But it's not only the this happiness Dad, I'm pregnant and Randy said that he wants me to have the kid and that we can be very happy together. Even though Randy is much older than me (anyway, 42 isn't so old these days, is it?), and has no money, really these things shouldn't stand in the way of our relationship, don't you agree?

Randy has a great CD collection; he already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. It's true he has other girlfriends as well but I know he'll be faithful to me in his own way. He wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my  dreams too.

Randy taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and he'll be growing it for us and we'll trade it with our friends for all the cocaine we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Randy can get better; he sure deserves it!!

Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.

Your loving daughter,
Rosie.


At the bottom of the page were the letters 'PTO'. Hands still trembling, and slight pain in the chest her father turned the sheet, and read:

PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbour's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that's in my desk center drawer. Please sign it and call when it is safe for me to come home. I love you!
