with GOD you can do it. yes you can

Wilma Rudolph was born a poor home in Tennessee. At age four she had double pneumonia with scarlet fever, a deadly combination which left her paralyzed with polio. She had to wear a brace and the doctors said she would never put her foot on the earth. But her mother encouraged. She told Wilma that with GOD- given ability persistence and faith, she could do anything she wanted. Wilma said I wanted to be the 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 her fist step the doctors had said she never would. At the age of 13 she entered for her first race and came way, way last. Then she entered for her second third and fourth and she came way, way last until a day came when she came first.

At the age of 15 she went to Tennessee state university where she met a coach by the name 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 and I will help you.

The day came when she was at the Olympics. And at the Olympics you are matched with the best of the best. Wilma was matched against a woman named jutta gein who have never been beaten before. The first event was the 100 meter race Wilma beat jutta and won her first gold medal. The second event was the 200-meter race and Wilma beat jutta the second time and won her second gold medal. The third event was the 400-meter relay and she was racing against jutta one more time in the relay the fastest person always run the last lap and the both anchored their teams. The first three people ran and change the baton easily. When it came to the turn of Wilma she dropped the baton. But when Wilma saw jutta shoot up at the other end, she picked the 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 on this earth at the 1960 Olympics. We need to learn from nature. According to scientists, the bumblebees’ body is too heavy and its wingspan too small. Aerodynamically, the bumblebee cannot fly but the bumblebee doesn’t know that she keeps flying.

Read the life history of people who have turned negative into positive, adversity into advantage, stumbling blocks into stepping-stone. They refused to let disappointment and failures pull them down.

If anybody can, it is you. Whatever that scar maybe, now is the time to turn it into a star. Henry ford said I’m looking for a lot of men with the infinite capacity for not knowing what cannot be done. If bumblebees can fly, You, I men you, can turn any situation to your advantage. So, Go ahead and do it.
