Courage & Attitude - got to know the real meaning

How does it feel when you have one leg not as able as the other and when you have to put some extra effort to walk? Now, how does it feel when you have 9 others in a basketball court running at good speed and you are left behind?
Will you have the courage to come out to the court and play with others who can run faster than you, who will be able to jump as high as the net and you will still be down defending them, who can easily defend you because you simply can't afford to dribble the ball as efficient as them, even when you can't chase your defence once they have crossed? Will your answer be YES?
I wonder how many of us would be able to say Yes for this. But I did meet a person in the basket ball court yesterday who had this courage to match the other 9 players in their game. For the first few minutes he played with such an amazing spirit and enthusiasm that I failed to note his dis ability. It was after a couple of minutes into the game when I had to switch to defend him and wondered why he was not as fast as me and happened to see that one of his leg was polio attacked. I was shocked for a second and all these thoughts came up in my mind, however we continued with our game.


Will you have the same attitude if you were in his position?
