Life is all about unfair things

Around two weeks ago, Sam was called to judge a talent contest at one of the city colleges. He noticed all the participants were given slips of paper with a topic written on it and told to come up and speak for three minutes. Lots were drawn as to who would be the first speaker and the next and the next. The first contestant, he noticed, looked a little disgruntled as he got onto the podium to address the others.

"My fellow students and respected judges," he said loudly, "this is an unfair contest!"

Sam, along with other fellow judges looked up surprised. "I have been given this paper," he continued, "to speak on a subject with just a few minutes preparation whereas those after me have more time to work on their speech. This is unfair!" He then proceeded to leave the stage and stormed out of the hall.

Nobody missed him and the contest went on smoothly. Later Sam met him on the landing as he was being escorted out later. "Who said life is fair?" Sam asked him with a smile. He looked at him startled and Sam asked him to walk with him to his car.

"Life," he told him, "is fighting the unfair and still winning! Do you read automobile magazines?"
"Yes," he said eagerly, "I do."
"Have you seen statistics shown when a new car is being introduced into the market? They talk about speed and torque and transmission and horse power."
"Yes," he nodded.
"But there is a line they put after all these figures. They say all this data is when there are ideal road conditions!"
"Yes," he said again.
"Show me ideal road conditions?" Sam asked him and the boy smiled. "The car that sells well," he continued is the car that will deliver power and speed and durability in the worst of roads, in potholes and mud and slush. That car is a winner!"

They had reached Sam’s car and the boy stood by Sam’s side as he got in. "Don't look for ideal playing conditions," Sam said. "Fight the unfair and come out a winner!" When Sam looked back in his rear view mirror as he saw the boy smile and wave him goodbye and knew that he would fight the unfair from now on.

The fight never stops. Ask all the successful people in our own country. They fight regardless whether the battle is fair or unfair. Stop telling the world about the unfair deal you've got out of life; start battling the unfair, come out victorious..!
