DISREGARDING THE REFEREE

Wilma Rudolph:An African-American Athelete made history in 1960 summer olympics games in Rome,Italy where she won 3 gold medals in a single olympiad. Almost every circumstance was stacked against Wilma Rudolph from the day she was born on June 23 1940.At birth she weighed only 4 1/2pounds.The bulk of her childhood was spent in bed.She suffered from double pneumonia and scarlet fever. Before Wilma was 5years old,polio had paralysed her left leg.She was fitted with metal leg braces.Everyone said she would never walk again.But Wilma refused to believe it.Not only would she walk again,she vowed she d'run.And she did run-all the way to the olympics where she became the first American woman to achieve the feat.Everybody gave up on her,even the doctor known to be an expertise in that proffession said she wont walk again.She did not listen to anyone of them.She listened and believed in what her heart was saying.She was convinced that,any battle she wins in her heart she will win in life. This is applicable to us all.Why do you allow the world to write you off?They were not there when your creator designed you and gave you an assignment.How come you listen to them.The World will see reasons to discourage you.As a matter of fact ,if you are not discouraged,your dream is inifitesimal.They will see reasons to count you out but it is your obligation not to listen to them if you want to be celebrated.No wonder H.E Jansen said ''The man who wins may have been counted out several times but he didnt hear the referee''.Dont let your joy be dependent on people's view about you.Disregard people's opinion especially when they tell you its impossible.Work best for your dreams to be actualised. Hear what Wilma said ''I ran and ran everyday and acquired this sense of determination,this sense of spirit that i will never give up no matter what else happened''. Why dont you give your vision a trial no matter people's assertion.You will be accountable for the dreams you didnt accomplish so beware of discouragers..Wilma reminded some people that "the truimph cant be had without the struggle'' Albert Einstein wrote :''I am thankful for all of those who said No to me,It is because of them i am doing it myself''. Your breakthrough is on the way if you disregard the whistle.
