At ten minutes to seven on a dark, cool evening in Mexico City in 1968,
John Stephen Arkwari of TANZANIA painfully hobbled into the Olympic
stadium-The last to finish the marathon. The winner had already been
crowned, and the victory ceremony was long finished. So the stadium was
almost as empty as Arkwari, alone, His leg bloody and bandaged,
struggled to circle the track to the finish line. The respected
documentary filmmaker, Bud Greenspan, watched from a distance. Then,
intrigued, Bud walked over to Arkwari and asked why he had continued
the grueling struggle to the finish line even after the injury. The
young man from TANZANIA answered softly, "My country did not send me
nine thousand miles to start the race. They sent me nine thousand miles
to finish the race.

"Moral of the story - Effort is a commitment to seeing a task through
to the end, not just until we get tired of it"

You have a great day!!
