I watched a video several years ago and that video is still relevant till today. It is basically about life and i would enjoy sharing this again with you all. I was touched by the video and it was really an eye opener for me back then. I hope we all learn together as usual.

A coach gathered lot of people together, from different races and places. They all gathered around and he told them he want them to race for a $100 bill. They were all excited because they knew how much valuable that money would be to them, especially at that time. We all have varying needs and desires after all.

They all formed a line and were all ready to race. The coach stepped up and told them to listen to few instructions before they race for the money. They listened and he told them he would say few things amd whoever those words apply to should take two steps forward, every time it applies to them.

He asked them to take two steps forward if any of them still have both their parents together; married. Quite a few of them took the steps forward, more so more of the whites.

He asked them to take another two steps forward if they have at least a father figure in their lives. It doesn't have to be their father and if it is their father, fine. I think this was for those whose parents were divorced, to at least give them a push up front too in this race. Quite a few of them stepped forward.

He asked another question and told them to step forward, those who have access to private education. Quite a few of them stepped forward too, while some were still rooted to the first line without taking any step forward. They were already feeling like this race isn't for them, because some were already 6 steps ahead while at least some were two steps ahead too.

...to be continued...


Thank you for your time.
