A VIDEO TO SHARE

I dunno how many of you know about Formula 1 , yet i write this post as i felt it must be done.

Yesterday I watched a video on YOUTUBE a post f1 race conference where the first three winners were being interviewed , as it is a customary in F1 Races.This incident which I speak about happened i the early 2000 may be 2003 I duno. Most of you guys know schumi was at his peak and it happened to be that schumi by winning this race had equalled Ayrton Senna's(another f1 great) record for the most wins . Mike his brother Ralph Schumacher and , Mika Hakkinen were the three persons on the dias. The first question to schumi(not in exact words)

REPORTER: You must be very happy about this win?
SCHUMI: it is a special occasion for me , but i dont have any words to describe it.

REPORTER: It must be great that you have equalled Ayrton Senna's record of wins
SCHUMI: no not and begins to cry ..... (Hakkinen pats schumi)

Ralph signals for the reporter to query Hakkinen

REPORTER: Thank you Mike
To Hakkinen: Schumacher has been doing well for the past 6 races
HAKKINEN: "yes" .... he also begins to cry ... " Give me a break" continues crying
schumi is also crying

The focus shifts to ralph , while someone passes a towel to schumi. Ralph does not cry but.

I wondered how come a legend cry like a baby while mentioning senna's name. As far as i know senna was a f1 great whose racing knack was unmatched. This created an interest in me to know more of senna. I was then surprised for what i read about him was simply stunning.

Senna was not only a great racer but also a great human being , to the extent that he stopped in the mid of a race and ran to help the driver who had crashed ;only a few would do it because at F1 a lot of money is at stake. The surprising fact is that he went on to win the race.Senna was the one who stressed for the need of more safety measures for f1 as the drivers were being killed in freak accidents. But the sad part is that the crusade which he carried on was achieved only upon his death , death by a freak accident in the san marino gp , imola.

The inspiration he created among all as a driver and a human being , well only few people can do it. There is no wonder why he lives in the minds of all and no wonder why schumi cried after equalling his record.

We know many sports persons or real life characters who have been great models in real life and also in sporting , lance armstrong who battled cancer to become a cycle champion, michael phelps who overcame his hyperactivity phenomenon and is now a olympic champion,Steve waugh popularly known as the iceman of cricket for keeping his cool even in tough times, but also involves himself with udayaan in calcutta .

There are also many inspiring characters apart from sport , Mother Teresa,Aung San Suu Kyi of burma.

I implore you to think how humane have u been in ur life so far how compassionate have u been to ur fellow beings?

I dont ask you to be like the above personalities . But in this fast paced world there is little time for being human. Be compassionate when u can . Be a normal Human Being
