This is a special dedication to all
the people who have overcome great adversity to prove that they too can
"WIN".
We all can learn lessons of great
value from them. Lessons of strength, courage, and devotion. To give your all
in spite of tremendous difficulties. Let this be an inspiration to each one
of us. For in doing so, we all become
"WINNERS"!
Let me win
But if I cannot win
Let me be brave in the attempt
A few years ago, at the Seattle Special
Olympics, nine 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 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.

"retarded?"
The Winners Creed
I know that I have the ability to
achieve my definite purpose in life: therefore I demand of myself, persistent,
continuous action towards its attainment and I here and now promise to render
such action.
I fully realize that no wealth or
position will long endure unless it is built upon truth and justice; therefore
I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all to whom it effects.
I am succeeding by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use and the cooperation of other people.
I induce others to serve me because
of my willingness to serve others. I eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness,
cynicism, anger, and fear by developing a true love for all humanity, because
I know that a negative attitude towards others will never bring me success.
I cause others to believe in me because I believe in them and believe in myself. This is my creed, my quest. To never stop striving for the top. To always keep moving forward. To always be the very best I can be.
I am the power. I am the magic. I can not be stopped. I am a winner!
I promise to always be true to myself
because I am the creator and master of my universe and I am responsible
for making a positive difference in the world and to the quality of life in
it. I live in constant and never-ending improvement.
