It's a long road

Is the road of life measured by the distance you have travelled?
Or by the distance you travelled to help someone?

James Kelly

So it's been a long day. But you're out there. And compared to some of the folks you are passing, things could be worse. Look at that person just standing there, covered in salt and a little unsteady on his feet. Now here's the thing. Do you pass them by and say to yourself, yea, got that one or do you take thirty seconds to ask if they're OK?

Listen, if that thirty seconds is the difference between your being fifty-sixth or fifty-seventh in your age group, do yourself a favour, ask them if they could use anything. You will feel better for it, they will remember you for it and the end result won't change your world ranking.

Sometimes the hand down to help is more satisfying than the leg up.
