greall1: But the Chinese man no suppose to allow to participate in dis kind of race because he is handicap man

haaaaaaaa

I WILL GIVE HER THE MONEY SHE LOST BY COMING SECOND..........I WONDER IF MY WARRI PPLE FIT DO THIS ..........WE NO DEY CARRY 2ND

Billyonaire: Life is about winning, that is it. If you find yourself on the marathon race, the focus is to run and win the race, NOT Charity. Watch the Billionaires of this life, they only start charity after winning a race. It is time more people get educated on priority, the priority was to win the race, that Chinese would not be dead without water, he would have survived. But she stupidly lost the Goal and Gold cos she fell for that weakness of another man. This, to me is a losing distraction. Focus is what makes any man great.

you are a mad man, is she complaining that she lost? She did it cause she wanted to, why are you complaining? Which kind billionaire u be sef wey dey ontop nairaland for early moin moin? if focus makes a man great, u shouldnt be on nairaland, you should be at berger selling gala. Just a little compassion will take you to great places. I wont be surprised if she starts getting adverts deals cause of what she just did. Witcho dumass

so loving and touching so loving and touching

First of all, i applaud the kenyan lady's sympathy but seriously its uncalled for. If the chinese guy was really thirsty he would have stopped. Even if he doesnt complete the marathon, The fact that a physically challenged athlete like himself was willing to take part in the marathon is already enough. Nw even after her generosity, no one honoured or even commended her. I knw its nt always abt money, bt there is no need for sympathy in this situation.

Billyonaire: I call it stupidity! Your eye should always be on the Goal and Gold irrespective of any Chinese Distraction. We have medics on the field, and their job includes hydrating the dehydrated. I do not see this as anything worth commendation but something worth condemnation. Eyes must always be on Goal and Gold, no distractions whatsoever should take anyone from focus! Africa needs reorientation on the mechanisms of winning! You win first, before doing Charity!

Nice one Billy. However that is core capitalist thinking! The world is leaving Core Capitalism and moving towards Conscious Capitalism. Check it up. Positive Impact is more important than Quantum acquisition.
Billy Gates is on a new thing. Instead of winning Oracle, Google and Apple he has opted to win Polio, Malaria and AIDS.
Billy Buffet is giving off half his wealth to causes and encouraging other Billies to do so.
Billies are trending these things these days: Conscious Capitalism, Impact Investments, Social Entrepreneurship!
Ask Billy Elumelu! He'll tell you.

Eyes on Goal and Gold no more. Eyes on Impact and Well Being now the ish. The gesture from the Kenyan Marathoner is worthy of commendation. She made impact and improved the Chinese guys well being.

The beauty in giving is in not expecting anything in return. I doubt she did this to be recognized or famous. She prolly just saw a guy with no hands and was like dude prolly would need some water and she offered him some (our typical and should be cherished african hospitality. Since I don't totally believe in altruism, I think this is one of the closest "altruistic" acts I have seen.

There is more to life than winning. The impact you make on other people's lives matters and it goes a long way. Such acts only reciprocate and this guy is going to become more selfless and he continues his life just because of one random act of kindness. The "all I want to do is win" is an individualistic mentality that does not necessarily do good for the society. If we all had that "Me, Myself, and I" mentality, we would eventually self-destruct.

Money aint everything! Personally, if I do good to someone, I feel more satisfied than having money in my bnk accnt.

How could the Chinese guy be running at the same pace as the runner who eventually came second?

Did his own race start earlier?

You get it wrong! Bill Gates is on to Charity after winning! Bill Gates will NOT be on Charity if he has not been successful. Charity is NOT Trending Now! Charity is what happens after 'having Excess'. I repeat that the Kenyan Marathoner lost focus! She was on that race to run and win, and not to show compassion. Charity comes after Success, not before!

The duty of that Marathoner was not to give water to the thirsty competitor! There are other people vested with the responsibility of sharing water. She faltered on her focus and sacrifice her Goal and Gold for compassion. She lost focus and reacted to emotion, it is the core reason Africa is backward today, cos we apply emotions than foresight. I stand by my assertion, that the Kenyan marathoner lost focus, and lost her goal.

I always smile now when I see Billy's witty posts.... he manages to get many riled up because he goes against the grain. It is entertaining

I Disagree wt u on this, we win when we save a life n d price 4 dt can never be quantified. Let's stop "Mans inhuman to Human". Oyinbo ppl abeg correct me 4 my gbagaun o.

BoboYekini: yea, and she probably delayed the chinese too. Did he beg her for water? so why the busy body? Eye service. Probably spilled the water all over. She for kuku stop him, sit down, and have a picnic while at it.

lwkmd!! She jus did wat came naturally 2 ha mind at dat time.

The dude could have ignored her if he didn't want the water.

Sometimes it's the little things that count.
Some of you might not agree but such acts are selfless and just the thought alone is commendable but she didn't just think it, she acted it out.

I get where you are coming from and yes I agree that it I important to focus in your goal and not be distracted. She was there to run a race and win but that's how life is. You are bound to see things that might make you pause for a sec on your journey and it is up to you to decide whether or not you need to stop for a min. She was thinking of not just herself but also of her fellow runners. For her, it was worth it and I'm sure she knew exactly what she was getting into by offering him water.

i think the person that wrote this trash should be incarcerated. from the above pix, it is very clear and evident that the chinese is a guy while the Kenyan is a lady.
in other words, the men will run differently with different timing while the ladies will run differently with their alloted time......there has never been a time when ladies and men were told to run together with the same timing....dat will be suicidal

Wrong man.

Men, women competitors all run together. They start together, run the same course but its two different contests. Eventually there will be two winners. One male, one female.

Unfortunately, i agree with this fake billyonaire.

If it is true that she came second because she helped the man, then she goofed. The situation of the physically challenged guy was not life threatening, and the guy could have gotten help from the bystanders along the runway.

I call what she did playing to the gallery, the motive is wrong, but the cause is worthy.

Although many philanthropists also play to the gallery.

We train to win.. We do not train to lose by sentiments and unnessary emotions. Her actions are not commendable in my book. If the guy could not make the finish line all he had to do was park well..

Besides you can not give what you don't have.. Bill gates monopolize the industry, did he care if his competitors were going out of busines and laying off their employees? No! Now he is a winner, he can now afford to invest in charity..

Lets not cloud out judgement with sentiments, when there are rules to the game.

No such thing as "conscious Capitalism" ... Global competition is hot right now.. Investors have to apply new concept of business practices that counters the existing ones in order to grab resources.. That has nothing to do with conscience. There are no sentiments in resource control...Capitalism is Capitalism.! Bottom line is the goal..

nifemi25: That's good for her, no nigerian guy ώĩℓℓ do this especially when monez is involved.

and u're hapi abt dat. Primitive swine!

This is proof of the marathon results-
http://www.zkmarathon.com/en/news.asp?ClassID=332

The runner is Jacquline Nyetipei, 2nd in the female category. and some other kenyan runner won- so whats the big deal about the whole "win first" thing?

churific: "Instead of coming first, she came second?" Please provide the source for that.

I'm pretty sure you added that part for the dramatic effect. Good person or not, if the finish line was that close and first place in sight, she could've finished the race then offered the water.

A real and true sportsman knows that winning is not always the aim of every race! (Esp. marathons)

Dude couldn't ignore her cos she was all up in his face dammit! As a matter of fact, she embarrassed him, making his challenge into a disability. Has the dude not been getting water for himself all this while? Why did she have to embarrass him like this in public?

Hey there,
just created an account to comment on this. You think in a very "capitalism" manner. True, focus makes any man great, but I would rather be the man that helped someone and lost a race than ignored someone and won the race. Not trying to start an argument here, everyone's opinion is respectable and I respect your opinion.

You are a good man, yet you have to understand that in helping one man and losing a race you have failed in a way. Listen, if you have the capacity to help a million men and not fail, will you rather choose to help one man and fail ?

A tree that grows up spreading branches doesnt grow very tall quickly, but any tree that grows strong before spreading branches will remain the great iroko tree that birds will make an habitat of, it will also bear fruits that will not only feed humans and other animals but the seeds will also lead in the propagation of other trees, and even in death will be used as timbre. The purpose of this proverb is; To help many a people, you must first stand firm, win a race then you have capacity to help a million. If you grow up helping people with meager resources you painfully earn, you will not survive long enough to help a million.

My thoughts, not an argument.

By the way, I have noticed that people go back in time, to check out my writings and react to them. Whether I remain consistent on those thoughts and principles are an indication of principles I live by. It could change based on the dynamics of time.

She really tried, to be very sincere. Cos when i tried imagining what i would do if i was the lady.
Something came to my mind, and that is finishing the race as the winner and going back to the chinese to give her part of the $10,000 forfeited.

It takes a great emotional and material sacrifice to be nice.
