Dream - Olympics; Truly Inspiring story of Wilma Rudolph

Olympics – Even Paralysis couldn’t stop her “Wilma Rudolph”


 Wilma Rudolph is regarded as one of the fastest woman on the planet at the 1960 Olympics.

Inspiring Story 1:

                Wilma Rudolph was born into a poor home in Tennessee. At age four, she had double pneumonia with a scarlet fever, a deadly combination which left her paralysed with polio. She had to wear a brace and the doctor said she would never be able to put her foot on the ground. But her 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 fastest woman on the track on this earth.” At the age of nine, against the advice of the doctors, She removed the brace and took the first step the doctors had said she never would. At the age of thirteen, she entered her first race and came way, way last. And then 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 fifteen she went to Tennessee State University where she met a coach by the name of Ed Temple. She told him, “I want to be the fastest woman on the track on this earth.” Temple said “with your spirit nobody can stop you besides, I will help you.”

The day came when she was at the Olympics and at the Olympics you were matched with the best of the best. Wilma was matched against a woman named Jutta Heine who had never been beaten. The first event was 100 metre race. Wilma beat Jutta Heine and won her first gold medal. The second event was the 200-metre race and Wilma beat Jutta a second time and won her second gold medal. The Third event was the 400-metre relay and she was racing against Jutta one more time. In the relay the fatest person always runs the last lap and they both anchored their teams. The first three people ran and changed the baton easily. When it came to Wilma’s turn, she dropped the baton. Wilma saw Jutta shoot up at the other end; she picked up baton, and ran like a machine, beat Jutta a third time  and won her third gold medal. It became history : that a paralytic woman became the fastest woman in this earth at the 1960 Olympics

Inspiring story 11: A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met and Socrates asked the young man to walk with hi towards the river. When the water got up to their necks, Socrates took the young man by surprise and pushed him under the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates kept him there. When the boy started turning blue, Socrates raised the boy's head out of the water. The first thing thing the boy did was take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked the, "What did you want the most when you were under water?" The boy replied, "Air." Socrates said, "That is secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted air underwater, you will have it." There is no other S...

Dream IIT-JEE : Only efforts can do!

IIT-JEE Inspiration: Only Efforts can do!   Inspiring story 2: A man bought a race horse and put him in a barn with a big sign, “The fastest horse in the world.” The Owner didn’t exercise the horse nor train it to keep it in good shape. He entered the horse in a race and it came last.
