10.  To be EFFECTIVE, one should appeal
to the MIND of others. But to be
INSPIRING, one has to be able to
reach the HEART of others.
 One of the values taught by the
Olympics is this quality of
inspiration. Life is not a smooth
journey. There will be obstacles
throughout our existence. But
inspirational people always have and
always will stand firm and fight their
way through. Such people inspire
lives.
 However, the best source of
inspiration to anybody is one’s own
self. One's past constructs one’s self
image. Only when your self image is
healthy can you find the inspiration
to unearth your potential which
manifests itself as performances. How
the world sees you makes a small
difference. How you see yourself
makes all the difference.

11.  A bright example would be
Rudy Garcia Tolson. Born with
multiple defects like club-feet,
both hands with webbed
fingers, cryppling pterygium
syndrome, cleft lip and palate,
he won the Gold Medal at the
Paralympics in Beijing For
swimming, thus setting a world
record. His motto in life has
been ‘a brave heart is a powerful
weapon'.
 Another such person is Marla
Runyan, the first legally blind
athlete to participate at the
Olympics. Each time, the
Olympics and the Paralympics
come up with such people and
instances, inspiring the world.

12. • The word Paralympic is derived from
the Greek word Para. “Para” is a
preposition for beside or alongside.
This symbolizes the very purpose of
conducting the event – to reign in a
sense of equality.
• The Paralympics have grown from a
small gathering of British World War
II veterans in 1948 to become one of
the largest international sport events
by the early 21st century.
Paralympians strive for equal
treatment with non-disabled Olympic
athletes.
• There are no disabled people. Only
differently abled.

13. • The Paralympics is an event which provides
an opportunity to such differently abled
people to exhibit their potential in the arena
of athletics and sports.
• The Paralympic contests have brought out
great talents and have given a moral boost
to differently abled people thereby helping
them live life like an other person.
• Many Paralympic athletes have competed in
Olympics and have proved to the world that
they are competitive in spite of their
disability.
• Each of us has a spark inside. It has to be
found and nurtured into a fire.
• It is not just about the physical conditions of
people but also about abandoning the
distinctions on the lines of religion, race,
caste, sex, creed etc.
