WILMA RUDOLPH: A SUCCESS STORY OF OLYMPIC 1960

 In my last post DESTINY AND LUCK i had given the example of Wilma Rudolph, now in this post i am going to share her story.

 Wilma Rudolph was born in poor family in Tennessee. When she was 4 years old she fall ill. She was suffering from double pneumonia and scarlet fever because of which she become paralyzed. She was not able to walk and require brace to support her legs. Doctors told her that she can't walk on her feet for her lifetime. But at that situation she was dreaming of becoming the fastest runner in the world. When she was 9 years old she removed her brace and walked on her feet. When she was 13 years old she participated in race competition and she came last. After that she started to participate in all race competition but each and every time she last. She put all her effort and one day she came 1st in the race.

When she was 15 years old she met with the coach of Tennessee State University whose name was Ed Temple. When Wilma told her that she want to become the fastest runner in the world then Ed Temple told her that no one could stop her because of her will power and dedication.

After Practicing for long period she was selected in the Olympic. She has to run with Jutta Heine who was the best runner in the world at that time. Wilma had not only won the race with her but she won 3 Gold Medal in that Olympic. It was the Olympic game of 1960 and in that game a paralyzed woman won the gold medal.

What we learnt from her lesson?

Successful person can get success in their difficult time also, not only at that time when everything is favorable to them. If a Paralyzed girl can won the Gold Medal in Olympic then why we can't achieve success in our life. She achieved success because she had never given any excuses and she never thought of her problems. She always dream of becoming the fastest runner in the world and inspite of so much of problem she achieved her Dream.

To achieve success we must focus on our Dream and never complain of our situations because if we will never get our best situation. We have to start in that situation only and have to change our life, Success not only comes by only thinking of favorable situations but we have to fight with our Dream in dificult situations also.
