| Wilma Rudolph was born into a poor home in Teenessee. At age four, she
had double pneumonia with scarlet fever, a deadly combination which
left her paralyzed with polio. She had to wear a brace and the doctor
said she would never put her foot on the earth. But here mother
encouraged her; she told wilma that with God-given ability, persistence
and faith she could do anything she wanted. Wilma said, "I want to be
the fastest woman on the track on the earth" at the age of nine,
against the advice of the doctor , she removed the brace and took the
first step the doctor had said she never would. At the age of 13 , she
entered here first race and came way, way last. And she entered her
second, and third and fourth and came way, way last until a day came
when she came in first.
At the age of 15 she went to Tennessee state university where she met a
coach by the name of Ed Temple.

To sum up, the story of the hare and tortoise teaches us many things:
Never give up when faced with failure
Fast and consistent will always beat slow and steady
Work to your competencies
Compete against the situation, not against a rival.
Pooling resources and working as a team will always beat individual
performers
Let's go and build stronger teams!
AVTAR - Always a good friend.
