Is winning all that counts? Are you absolutely sure about that?

Very little has been said about this…..On December 2, Basque athlete Iván Fernández Anaya was competing in a cross-country race in Burlada, Navarre. He was running second, some distance behind race leader Abel Mutai - bronze medalist in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the London Olympics. As they entered the finishing straight, he saw the Kenyan runner - the certain winner of the race - mistakenly pull up about 10 meters before the finish, thinking he had already crossed the line.

Fernández Anaya quickly caught up with him, but instead of exploiting Mutai’s mistake to speed past and claim an unlikely victory, he stayed behind and, using gestures, guided the Kenyan to the line and let him cross first.

Ivan Fernandez Anaya, a Basque runner of 24 years who is considered an athlete with a big future (champion of Spain of 5,000 meters in promise category two years ago) said after the test:

“But even if they had told me that winning would have earned me a place in the Spanish team for the European championships, I wouldn’t have done it either. I also think that I have earned more of a name having done what I did than if I had won. And that is very important, because today, with the way things are in all circles, in soccer, in society, in politics, where it seems anything goes, a gesture of honesty goes down well.”

He said at the beginning: “unfortunately, very little has been said of the gesture. And it’s a shame. In my opinion, it would be nice to explain to children, so they do not think that sport is only what they see on TV: violent kicks in abundance, posh statements, fingers in the eyes of the enemy …”

Oh WOW! As a Kenyan, I’m really humbled by Anaya. That’s a true winner.

This is amazing. Humbled

Watch President Obama age from January 2009 to December 2012. Connie Mariano, White House physician from 1992 to 2001, observes, “It’s like they went in a time machine and fast-forwarded eight years in the span of four years.”

Alan Watts: What if money was no object?

I don’t usually post whole comics, but this is just too great. Paste this to your mirror. Read it like a weekly devotional. Sit and really think about the true meaning of “reward”, and what’s “rewarding” to you will become quite a bit clearer.

BWAHAHA

After the night I just had, I am starting to lean toward Tyrese actually being a media genius. There is no way he could truly be that dumb. The same with Jaheim and his funeral garb.

If I were a media whore, I would do some dumb shit to have a moment, knowing that our culture rewards ignorance with attention more than integrity. (kanye shrug)

I knew this being a Mass Media major, but its amazing seeing it first hand.

“Jaheim and his funeral garb” LOL #neverforget

HAHA! But then he came out with a CD real quick to capitalize on his buzz. LOL

I caaaant.
