Remember this Kenyan runner Abel Mutai who was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped, thinking he had completed the race. A Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was happening,
started shouting at the Kenyan to continue running. Mutai didn't know Spanish and didn't understand. Realizing what was taking place, Fernandez pushed Mutai 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 where we push and help each other to win."
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 race was his."
The journalist insisted, and again asked, "But you could have won!" Ivan looked at him and replied, "But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor in that medal?
What would my Mother think of that?"

Values are passed on from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?

Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways and means to WIN.
Instead, let us pass on the beauty and humanity of a helping hand. Because honesty and ethics are WINNING!

When Valmiki completed his Ramayana, Narada wasn't impressed. 'It is good, but Hanuman's is better', he said.

'Hanuman has written the Ramayana too!', Valmiki didn't like this at all, and wondered whose Ramayana was better.

So he set out to find Hanuman.

#SaturdayMotivation
In Kadali-vana, grove of plantains, he found Ramayana inscribed on seven broad leaves of a banana tree.

He read it and found it to be perfect. The most exquisite choice of grammar and vocabulary, metre and melody. He couldn't help himself. He started to cry.

#SaturdayThoughts
'Is it so bad?' asked Hanuman
'No, it is so good', said Valmiki
'Then why are you crying?' asked Hanuman.

'Because after reading your Ramayana no one will read my Ramayana,' replied Valmiki.

Hearing this Hanuman simply tore up the seven banana leaves stating

By-poll for Maharashtra assembly seat Pandharpur was held recently.

The region has been NCP stronghold & even the massive Modi wave had zero impact here.

For the bypoll, BJP fielded its candidate while from Maha Vikas Aghadi, a NCP candidate was fielded.
This means it was BJP vs NCP+SS+INC in a seat which is NCP stronghold.

So it was obvious that MVA wud hv won easily. Popular NCP leaders like Ajit Pawar campaigned here in full swing. Fadnavis meanwhile campaigned for BJP candidate.

Now, unexpected happened. BJP won the seat. Image
3 out of the 4 main parties of a state fight in a seat together, that too a seat that is stronghold of one of those parties. They cud hv easily polled 60% votes, but they end up losing to 4th party (BJP), which had negligible presence here.

But do you know about Cadet Amit Raj?

#SaturdayThoughts
I know your answer and I don't completely blame you for this. We only get to see sh*t irrelevant news but nothing else.

On 7th of Dec, Cadet Amit Raj of Sainik School(Purulia) was at his hometown in Bihar when he heard people shouting at his neighbourhood.

@TheRightster
Went out to see a house was on fire. Without thinking and entered the house to save 3 children who were trapped inside. He sustained 85% of burn by the time he saved the first two children and decided to save the third one.
