A group of salespeople left town for a meeting and told their families they would be

back home Friday evening for supper. But as with meetings the way they are, one

thing leads to another and they didn't finish on time. They were delayed and had to

catch a flight. They came to the airport just at the last minute, with tickets in hand, and

ran, hoping the plane hadn't departed. While running, one of them hit a table and on

the table was a fruit basket. All the fruit got scattered and bruised but they didn't have

time to stop. They kept running and made it to the plane and all of them breathed a

sigh of relief that they had made it, except one. He got in touch with his feelings, got

up, said good-bye to his friends and went. What he saw made him glad that he came

out. He went to the table that was knocked down and behind the table was a ten-yearold

blind girl who was selling the fruits to make a living. He said, "I hope we haven't

ruined your day." He pulled out $10 from his pocket, handed it to her and said, "This

will take care of the fruits," and he left. The girl couldn't see what was going on; all she

could hear was the footsteps leaving. As the footsteps faded away, she shouted from

behind, "Are you God?" He missed his flight but was he a winner? You bet. One can

be a winner without a medal and one can be a loser with a medal if winning is not kept

in perspective
