LIFE IS LIKE RUNNING A MARATHON

Thousands can start a race together at the same time – but each run at different pace, different speed, with different stamina and strength; and for different causes, different goals and different purposes.
And runners hardly ever reach the finish line at the same time.
But the beauty is that each runner determines to run and finish the race whether they win or not.
For many, the glory of taking part and finishing is all the reward they need.
WE CAN ALL RUN THE SAME RACE BUT WE CANT ALL WIN THE SAME PRIZE.
