βIn one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, βMy dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.β The journalist insisted βBut why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.β The journalist insisted again, βBut you could have won!βIvan looked at him & replied, βBut what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?β
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.β

It was six years ago, and my mate, Pink, had just been told he was going to die. He accepted the news with a grace I can only marvel at, but he said heβd a list of things heβd still like to do.
We sat in a pub one night and read it over. Eight things? Four months? Ok. Deal.
