Thinking of Others...

In this selfish world, often we only think about ourselves...

This video was taken during the Australian National Championships in 1956. John Landy, the mile world record holder at that time, stopped to help a fellow racer, Ron Clarke, who fell down to see if he was okay. Upon finding that he's okay, he continued with the race, took off and won the race!

Personally, I think his attitude is magnificent.
It's not about winning the race in the end...
He has shown his good character on the humanity and the 'unselfish gesture', which is wonderful...
Yet still giving his best in what he does.

Like the saying goes: "Actions speaks louder than words"...

May this video inspire us to fulfil a better life...
Be a light to others...
