Maintain your Integrity !!

A while back, there was a story about Reuben Gonzolas, who was in the final match of his first professional racquetball tournament. He was playing the perennial champion for his first shot at a victory on the pro circuit. At match point in the fifth and final game, Gonzolas made a super "kill shot" into the front corner to win the tournament. The referee called it good, and one of the linemen confirmed the shot was a winner.

But after a moment's hesitation, Gonzolas turned and declared that his shot had skipped into the wall, hitting the floor first. As a result, the serve went to his opponent, who went on to win the match.

Reuben Gonzolas walked off the court; everyone was stunned. The next issue of a leading racquetball magazine featured Gonzolas on its cover. The lead editorial searched and questioned for an explanation for the first ever occurrence on the professional racquetball circuit. Who could ever imagine it in any sport or endeavor? Here was a player with everything officially in his favor, with victory in his grasp, who disqualifies himself at match point and loses.

When asked why he did it, Gonzolas replied, "It was the only thing I could do to maintain my integrity."

Real Life Incident !!

JAI HIND....FRIENDS.

Just thought of sharing with you this real-life incident:

This is a real incident that happened in a local hospital in
Bangalore, India. A 4 year old girl was admitted due to leg fracture. As it was
an open fracture, she had to undergo an operation to stitch the
protruding bone back in place. Though it was quite a minor operation, she was
hooked on to life support system, as a part of the process. The
doctors had to input some data prior to the operation to suit different
conditions. Thereafter, the operation proceeded. Half way through the
process, the life support system suddenly went dead.

The culprit: - Some one was using his/her hand-phone outside the
operation theatre. And the frequency had affected the system. They
tried to track the fellow but to no avail. The little girl, young and
innocent as she was, died soon after.

"Be compassionate! Do not use your hand phone /mobiles especially at
any hospitals or within the Aircraft or petrol bunk or any places where
you are told not to use it... You might not be caught in the act, but you
might have killed someone without knowing". Sometimes it's a matter of
Life & Death....!!!!

Please pass this to as many, since most of us are just not aware of
the seriousness of this issue.
