What if life hasn’t been fair ?

This is Jim Thorpe. Look closely at the photo, you can see that he's wearing different socks and shoes. This wasn't a fashion statement. It was the 1912 Olympics, and Jim, a Native American from Oklahoma represented the U.S. in track and field.

On the morning of his competitions, his shoes were stolen. Luckily, Jim ended up finding two shoes in a garbage can. That's the pair that he's wearing in the photo. But one of the shoes was too big, so he had to wear an extra sock. Wearing these shoes, Jim won two gold medals that day. This is a perfect reminder that you don't have to resign to the excuses that have held you back.

So what if life hasn't been fair? What are you going to do about it today? Whatever you woke up with this morning; stolen shoes, ill health, failed relationships, failed business, don't let it stop you from running your race. You can experience more in life if you'll get over the excuses and get on with living. You can have reasons or you can have results...but you can't have both.

My friends, may we all strive to keep running in this life no matter what the problem with our shoes (life) may be.

Now be happy and go for gold as you "Live Life With No Regrets"

小時我的母親講一個窮日本武士的故事。窮孩子志為武士，憂慮自己的劍比人短，他的母親告訴他，你的劍比人短，你就比人更向前一步。

故事我至今不忘。

鞋子太大，多穿一隻襪子。

異曲同工，同樣令人難忘。
