WHAT WOULD MY MOM THINK OF THAT?
In a race, (see picture below), athlete Abel Mutai representing Kenya, was just a few feet from the finish line, but he was confused with the signage & stopped, thinking he had completed the race. The Spanish 🇪🇸 athlete 👟 , Ivan Fernandez was right ✔️ behind him & realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan 🇰🇪 for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't know Spanish and so didn't understand. Then the Spanish 🇪🇸 pushed him to victory. A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you let the Kenyan 🇰🇪 win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was already going to win" . The journalist asked again, "But you could have won!" Ivan looked at him & replied, "But what would be the merit of my victory ✌ ? What would be the honour of that medal? What would my Mom think of that?"
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways & means to WIN 🏆
