Is Life Being Unfair On You...
Around two weeks ago I was called to judge a talent contest at one of the
city colleges. I noticed all the participants were given slips of paper
with
a topic written on it and told to come up and speak for three minutes. Lots
were drawn as to who would be the first speaker and the next and the next.
The first contestant I noticed looked a little disgruntled as he got onto
the podium to address the others.
"My fellow students and respected judges," he said loudly, "this is an
unfair contest!"
I, along with my fellow judges looked up surprised. "I have been given this
paper," he continued, "to speak on a subject with just a few minutes
preparation whereas those after me have more time to work on their speech.
This is unfair!" He then proceeded to leave the stage and stormed out of
the
hall. Nobody missed him and the contest went on smoothly.
I met him on the landing as I was being escorted out later.
"Who said life is fair?" I asked him with a smile. He looked at me startled
and I asked him to walk with me to my car. "Life," I told him, "is fighting
the unfair and still winning! Do you read automobile magazines?"
"Yes," he said eagerly, "I do."
"Have you seen statistics shown when a new car is being introduced into the
market? They talk about speed and torque and transmission and horse power."
"Yes," he nodded.
"But there is a line they put after all these figures. They say all this
data is when there are ideal road conditions!"
"Yes," he said again.
"Show me ideal road conditions?" I asked him and he smiled. "The car that
sells well," I continued is the car that will deliver power and speed and
durability in the worst of roads, in potholes and mud and slush. That
car is
a winner!"
We had reached my car and he stood by my side as I heaved myself in. "Don't
look for ideal playing conditions," I said. "Fight the unfair and come
out a
winner!" I looked back in my rear view mirror as I drove away and saw him
smile and wave and knew he would fight the unfair from now on.
The fight never stops. Ask all the successful people in our own country.
They fight regardless whether the battle is fair or unfair. Stop telling
the
world about the unfair deal you've got out of life; start battling the
unfair, come out victorious..!
