sports = money?


To play sports inorder to get money is not a problem. The problem is that when they cheat during a competetion, most of the people are trying hard to achieve while others are looking for some ways to cheat!! I had an experience with that; in January 6,2000, there was a competetion, to cut 42.196kilometers runing, in my home country Sudan. I decided to share in that competetion.I was well prepared that time. I ran, and did very well, but was not one of the first ten winners. the point was that tens were carried by cars to a front points while the rest were sweating to get these ponits. As a result I was, I feel shame of, the winner number 13!!!. I said to myself that it was Ok because it was out of 6000 people who were compeating, but I lost the price which was $10,000 that time, and I was in need for that. which one do you think is the worse: to compete for the money, or to cheat and let some people be dissappointed, as I was?

I think it is better to do your best and not cheat, even if it means losing out on something, and to live with a light heart and a clear conscience.

However, some people don't seem at all troubled by their consciences...
