Man is a strong word

I came last in the race by eight seconds. And I was so disappointed. That’s not so bad, you said. We sat down and with our fingers we counted those eight seconds together. That helped me. I’ve had a lot of success since then. Twenty five years later I wanted to give up near the […]
