FINISH | GNOMIC Motivation

Derek Redmond will be forever remembered for his staggering performance in the 400-meter men’s semifinals during the summer Olympics of 1992 in Barcelona, Spain.

After years of training, Derek was finally competing in the Olympics. His dream of competing in the 400-meter race at that level had become a reality. Halfway through the race though, Derek pulled a hamstring and fell down on the track. Writhing in pain, he watched the other runners quickly pass him by, but staying down wasn’t in Derek’s blood. Though winning was out of the question, finishing wasn’t!

As the medical crew arrived with a stretcher, Derek said, “There’s no way I’m getting on that stretcher. I’m going to finish my race.” He struggled to his feet and began to hobble, determined to complete the race. His father ran from the stands to help him off the track, but the athlete refused to quit. Leaning on his father, the two limped to the finish line together, to deafening applause.

It is not how you start, but how you finish, that counts. DO NOT QUIT. By all means, finish. Even if you have to do so with a limp!

Glory awaits at the finish line.
