And they call some of these people "retarded"...

A few years ago, at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants, all
physically or mentally challenged, 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.

Pass it on...we sometimes need the reminder.
