Athletes Inspire Us All

We are watching a race of athletes running and they explode off the starting line. They are all exerting, themselves in order to win the race. Some of the runners are in the lead, and there is one runner next to another runner, and they are going as fast as they can. The runner who was in the back, got a slow start so if he wants, to win he has to exert, himself even more than expected, at the beginning of the race. They are all programmed, to run in this race, but one of them knows, that he is going to win the race. That runner comes from the back of the racers, in the front of the pack. He pours out everything he can muster, and comes closer, and closer, to the lead runners and then suddenly, just in the last hundred yards,he is nudging the leaders. He is running extra hard completely, out of breath he crosses the finish line, just one step before the other ones. This can be very exciting, to witness such, a miracle in front of your eyes. The runner in the very back, came in and won, the race after all the odds, that were against him at the beginning, of the race. Athletes inspire us all, because they push the limits, and then they succeed in going beyond the limits, that they and anyone else thought was not possible. World records, are set by one and you would, think that they are going, to be hard to be broken. Someone comes along and brakes the record. When prized athletes are performing, their miracles right there in front of you, and you witness with your own, eyes how they were able to perform, the way they do. This can have a very positive effect, on all of us. It makes you want to go out and do the very best, and overcome your own limits, that you thought about before you saw them win the race with your own eyes.
