CONTRASTS

Contrast the media and public attention given to these two successful competitors.

Rory McIlroy.

Rory McIlroy has now been praised by the "British" PM as well as being praised by Peter Pinnochio Punt and J118.  They will probably try and portray his victory as "a victory for the peace process." 

He is now known worldwide and will be sought after by every interviewer and chat show host in the Western world.

I know nothing about golf and have no interest in it, still it is nice to see successful sportsmen and women from N.Ireland.

Boris Gelfand

Boris Gelfand is another successful competitor yet he is largely unknown in his own country and by the world at large.

Here is an interesting article about his homecoming after a successful acheivement.  The Homecoming.

Which one of these two sportsmen will be needing a Super Injunction first? lol Neither hopefully!

Ecclesiastes 12

⁹And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
¹⁰The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
¹¹The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
¹²And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
¹³Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
¹⁴For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
