Once, when i was in a running race, i met a man who was competiting in the longest distance which was 21 kilometers. He was around his 80 years old, looked old and peaceful and not very competitive, but you could see the pasion that he had about running.
During the race he always held a relax pace, but never gave up. With a big smile from ear to ear, he finished the race.
Recovering the breath after the tough 21 Km, this man was been admired by everybody else; after a while i had the opportunity to meet him and listen part of his history.
Hearing him, was such a motivational moment; he had run several full Iron Man Triathlons during his life and had never given up his pasion about this sport. This man had had the best moments of his life running triathlons around the world, winning lot of times in his category.
His words were full of knowledge and "wise?"(when someone has a lot of knowledgment after many years of experience). Seeing him was inspiring.
Really interesting! I think that old people can teach us a lot of things about the life!

ReplyDeleteMarlon: I would say 'really interesting', but i think it has been said before. :P Seriously, sometimes other people really can be inspiring. That man sounds like he still has a great passion for life. It must have been wonderful to meet such a person.
