Abel Mutai and Ivan Fernandez Motivational Story - It Will Change Your Perspective About Success
Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was leading a cross-country race in Burlada, Navarre, in December 2012. Just a few meters from the finish line, he got confused by a sign and stopped, thinking he had finished. Spanish runner Ivan Fernandez, right behind him, realized what was happening and started shouting for Mutai to keep running. Mutai did not understand Spanish, so Fernandez pushed him to victory. When asked why he did this, Fernandez said his dream is for a community where people help each other to win. He added that he didn't deserve to win as Mutai was the rightful winner, having created a gap that Fernandez couldn't have closed. Fernandez reflected on the merit and honor of a victory earned through someone else's mistake and what his mother would think of it. The story emphasizes the importance of values and how they are passed down through generations, encouraging us to help others rather than exploit their weaknesses.
