IMAGINE IF FAMILY COURT WEREN'T ABOUT WINNING OR LOSING, BUT ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING! LET US LEARN FROM THIS STORY ABOUT SPECIAL OLYMPICS!

OLIMPIADAS ESPECIALES

 Hace algunos años, en las olimpiadas para personas con discapacidad de Seattle, también llamadas Olimpiadas Especiales, nueve participante...s, todos con deficiencia mental, se alinearon para la salida de la carrera de los cien metros planos.
A la señal, todos partieron, no exactamente disparados, pero con deseos de dar lo mejor de sí, terminar la carrera y ganar el premio.
Todos, excepto un muchacho, que tropezó en el piso, cayó y rodando comenzó a llorar...
Los otros ocho escucharon el llanto, disminuyeron el paso y miraron hacia atrás.
Vieron al muchacho en el suelo, se detuvieron y regresaron, Todos!
Una de las muchachas, con Síndrome de Down, se arrodilló, le dio un beso y le dijo:
¨Listo, ahora vas a ganar¨...
Y todos, los nueve competidores entrelazaron los brazos y caminaron juntos hasta la línea de llegada.
El estadio entero se puso de pie y en ese momento no había un solo par de ojos secos.
Los aplausos duraron largos minutos, las personas que estaban allí aquel día, repiten y repiten esa historia hasta hoy.
¿Por que?...
Porque en el fondo, todos sabemos que lo que importa en esta vida, más que ganar, es ayudar a los demás para vencer, aunque ello signifique disminuir el paso y cambiar el rumbo.
Porque el verdadero sentido de esta vida es que...
TODOS JUNTOS GANEMOS,
No cada uno de nosotros en forma individual,
Ojalá que también seamos capaces de disminuir el paso o cambiar el rumbo, para ayudar a alguien que en cierto momento de su vida tropezó y que necesita de ayuda para continuar.
Creo que nos hace falta disminuir el paso y cambiar de rumbo y sobre todo que esto no sea un proyecto individual, sino colectivo,
entre todos seguro que podemos...

SPECIAL OLYMPICS

 Some years ago, in the Olympics for people with disabilities in Seattle , also called Special Olympics , nine participants, all with a mental handicap , lined up for the start of the race of the hundred meter dash .
At the signal, everyone left , not exactly fired , but wanting to give their best , to finish the race and win the prize .
All except one boy who stumbled on the floor, fell and started rolling and moaning ...
The other eight heard the cry , fell over and looked back.
They saw the boy on the floor , stopped and returned , All !
One girl with Down Syndrome , knelt , kissed him and said :
¨ Ok, now you're gonna win ... ¨
And all nine linked arms and competitors walked together to the finish line .
The entire stadium stood up and at that time there was not a single pair of dry eyes.
The applause lasted several minutes , the people who were there that day , repeat and repeat that story to this day.
Why? ...
Because deep down , we all know that what matters in this life , rather than winning, is helping others to overcome , even if it means reducing the step to change course.
Because the true meaning of life is that ...
ALL TOGETHER LET'S WIN ,
Not every one of us individually ,
Hopefully we may also be able to slow the pace or change course to help someone at some point in his life encountered and needs help to continue.
I think we need to decrease the step to change course and especially that this is not an individual , but collective project
among all sure we can ...
