Maintaining and displaying values are more important than winning the race by shortcuts or deceits or by taking advantage of ignorance of the opponents!
While doing any thing wrong if one starts thinking that "will this make my mother feel proud?" Normally person will not indulge in wrong doings.
Remember this Kenyan runner Abel Mutai who was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped, thinking he had completed the race. A Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realising what was happening, started shouting at the Kenyan to continue running. Mutai didn't know Spanish and didn't understand. Realising what was taking place, Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory. A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?" Ivan replied, "My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win." The journalist insisted "But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win. The race was his." The journalist insisted, and again asked, "But you could have won!" Ivan looked at him and replied, "But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor in that medal? What would my Mother think of that?" Values are passed on from generation to generation.
