My country did not send me 5,000 miles to start the race, my country sent me 5,000 miles to FINISH it! Olympian John-Stephen Akhwari represented Tanzania during the 1968 Olympic Games held in Mexico. As a child I might not have vivid images of having watched my first Olympics in this country, but a year after my arrival. However, never forgot being in awe watching this runner enter the stadium almost staggering due to exhaustion and injury, but the euphoria he caused when he emerged in the stadium. The few people who stayed all gave him a standing ovation..... Its not just about starting something, but to finish it! Never give up nor listen to the nay sayers who filled with so much hostility and envy towards you will always attempt to discourage you from obtaining your true potential. Make certain not just to start something that you long to start, thus bettering your life, but to finish it! https://youtube/watch?v=k6oW9uYtJnA
