John Stephen Akhwari was marathon athlete who represented Tanzania at the 1968 Summer Olympic in Mexico City. He finished the race at the last place among 74 competitors. Nothing special, nothing to be proud and exactly that was really bad result for an athlete, wasn’t it?
He said, “My country did not send me from 7,000 miles to start a race, they sent me to finish the race.”
So, what you got from his experience?
I just want to share with you that he might not be a winner of this competition but he already be a winner for himself, fight the pain and fight his worries to achieve one purpose “Finish the race”.
If you now fell desperate and no hope, think again and again, get up and say to yourself that “I must.. I must finish my work, my objective and my purpose of life.” No one exactly know about your plan or some achievement that you want to reach. Just fill your heart and thought with full of motivation and declare that you can do the best and be a winner of yourself. Pray for being strong and built a huge hope. You take control of your life.
I toke my earphone and fixed it at my ears. I turn on the Winamp and started to choose several relaxing mp3 song to put it in playlist. Unintentionally, I found a song “Dance with My Father” in my computer folder. I was not familiar with the title so I played it firstly for just want to know. Here is what I have listened when enjoyed break time in my office :
Song lyric :
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved
If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again
Ooh, ooh
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father
again
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear her, mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
