Mahre Brothers - If You Win, I Win Too.jpg
Picture this...

It's 1984 at the Sarajevo Olympics. Phil and Steve Mahre, twin brothers are competing in the slalom ski event and Phil goes first...

His time puts him in the gold position.

Now, most people would hold their breath and hope that they can keep that place.

But not Phil.

Phil picks up a walkie talkie to speak with his brother, Steve...

...and proceeds to give his twin advice on how to beat him.

How many times in our lives do we readily offer such a thing to others?

A TRUE testament for interdependence.
It was a story that moved me tears when I read it.

Phil Mahre truly understood the idea...

That when you win, I win too.
