End Words
To me, the true winning spirit is when a 100m sprinter who is the last in the race continues to run after the finishing line and is hopeful for setting a good time for the 200m. If not, he continues for the 400m and so on. My friends, you cannot lose if you choose never to stop. You make your own rules. You create your own finishing line. You be your own cheering squad. This is how I live my own life. – Colin Ong
