Movie: CHARIOTS OF FIRE
This film is about real people and real events.

Everyone thinks he will win the 100 meter for England. However, Eric Liddell ( Ian Charleson ) refuses to join the 100 meter race because the Final is on Sunday when he needs to worship God. Instead he joins the 400 meter race, which he is not used to, in the 1924 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, France. He runs for the glory of God.

Run the race and focus on Him who gives us strength
因為尊重我的，我必重看他；藐視我的，他必被輕視。
撒母耳記上二章30節

Graduates who 30 years ago shunned a public-sector job because they thought they would be financially better off in the private sector badly miscalculated.

Research from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) The Tortoise and The Hare:
PwC traces the careers of two fictitious 1981 graduates, by the age of 49 their financial fortunes cross and the civil servant is much better off for the last 30 years of his life.

It’s a striking illustration of the long-term value of job security and public-sector final-salary pensions
