And they call them retarded.

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

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 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 need to change our hearts.
