- When you Don't give up..You cannot fail!!
More on that at my newest website: connielynne.net
I want to say a BIG thank you to 'everyone' who has commented on the inspiration that they've received from this video. When I put this video together I was following my heart to inspire 'Whoever' might be discouraged to... "Not Give Up!"
However, I have received the most from this posting. I have been blessed from the countless strangers who have directly (or indirectly) motivated me to continue forward.
I did not know when I posted this video that 'exactly a year after posting this video that I would experience a tragic loss. Life has a strange way of holding us up in our time of need.
May we all spread the message of hope
"Don't Give Up"!
Warmest wishes,
Connie Lynne
finishing the race with your father is better than any medal you could ever have!
Ya
Ya ....you're right . ..
Thanks for saying😢

❤️❤️❤️
Who else comes to this video every couple of years and cries like a damn baby, I can't be the only one. It get's me everytime..
Indeed, you're not the only one :')

That's Truly Amazing!
Tony Iommi I cry
Nope..... U're the ONLY one.... NOT!!!! ;-)
The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies.
That's so true. but if i may ask, do you trade all by yourself?
How can this person, ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER be reached please...
Wow! I just looked up this person out of curiosity and I'm super impressed with her qualifications. Thanks for sharing.

Stay strong dude

Wow...
We do not know the winner of that race but we know DEREK
Quincy Watts 43.50, New Olympic Record
Omg drama level 😂
Exactly!
The man who won the race was forgotten a long time ago, but Derek still makes people cry and motivated not to give up, never. So as to me Derek is a real winner of the race.
Im crying now!! It's very touching!
🇧🇩 ❤️
💪💫
never give up, family always by ur side :)
No, but I still never give up.
It's a long road when you are on your own. 😔
Lukas Rovina i feel sorry for people that have to do things without their family ;_;
+Lukas Rovina well that s the spirit
I'm crying because i hve a dream ..thanks for this vedio i never quit i will win

Why do we fall, to rise up again 😉
Yes
Yes. This made me cry. Thought of my parents who supported me everytime when people whom we know did not. ❤️
All the best ❤
"NEVER DOUBT YOURSELF. Doubt kill more dreams than failure will." Something to keep in mind.
The moment I saw "it was his father" tears came into my eyes.
manas pachauri same
He won my gold medal
a round of applause for him
Dereks's father symbolically represents God who comes to desperate people in desperate situations who never say die, Alleluia!
Some things happen for a reason.
If he had won that day nobody would have remembered him today but instead, he became an inspiration for millions!!
May God bless him.
Zotex I call SOME B.S. on that statement.
Nick Calderon Who won the gold medal that year? Tell me without google if you can...
Exactly!
Cause and effect
FAILURE ISNT WHERE YOU FALL DOWN ITS WHEN YOU REFUSE TO GET BACK UP
Lionel just a fan Messi thanks for this!
Lionel just a fan Messi

You fucking nerd
Absolutely correct
Shouldn't it be, "when you refuse to give up"? You mistaken
to me this guy was the only winner here :')
+TheBaconator AMEN

The person who never gives up , even in the most toughest situation, is the real winner.
Father and son bond is a gift from God.🙏
4 years ago i almost give up on college, my brother showed me this video and i cried.. 2 years later i graduate with good grade, thanks to this video..
i ended up being unemployed anyway but at least i finished my college
+Hagi Bastian You'll get a job. College is tough. Congratulations on finishing! It's a great accomplishment. PS: Your brother is also awesome.
Amazing...never give up
Hagi Bastian He is Gayyyyyy
It was because of your brother, not the video, he showed it to you lol
This video really made me cry... royal salute to his hope...... NEVER GIVE UP
Yes, being a father, no one can stop crying
"Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to Your name give glory for the sake of Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness".
Family like that is million times better than any medal in this world...
I couldn't stop crying 😭😭😭
mean either
I'm trying to wipe my eyes. It hurts so much. just thinking about the past.

Behind every beautiful smile☺ their is a lot of crying😭
There is
12 years gone... its 2023... and he will continue to be remembered as a true inspiration... today and even for the times to come as long as this world remain!
Winning hearts of 65000 + people is much worthier than a medal. Really appreciate u a lot for giving such a powerful message of NEVER GIVING UP
Amazing video, i cryed.
Don't give up !
A great sportsman is not determined by how many medals he had won.. But his sportsmanship, attitude and fighting spirit.
Just to show everyone that Fathers care for their sons... And now I'm bawling. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I cried so hard 😢😭 remember never give up
I cried when his father gave him that helping hand and like a real father he let him fly on his own to finish. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Oh....man u made me cry😭
God Bless you! I broke down in tears my heart felt his pain and his struggle not to give up awhile others wanted him to lay down and give in. But have the strength of a LOVING FATHER just like God who doesn't give up on us when we are down and out! GOD IS THERE TO SEE US THROUGH THANK YOU! FOR THIS VIDEO IM STILL CRYING BECAUSE IN MY JOB EVERYONE WANTS TO STEP ON MY HEAD AND TALK NEGATIVE ANS EVIL BUT I HAVE A HIGHER POWER THAT TELLS ME YOU ARE NOT ALONE DONT GIVE UP! BLESS THIS ENCOURAGING MESSAGE ITS POWERFUL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT OF A FATHER BUT THE STRENGTH OF A SON WHO DIDN'T GIVE UP DUE TO HIS PAIN and over come adversary GOD BLESS EVERYONE! STAY STRONG TRUST GOD HAVE FAITH GOD WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON HIS CHILDREN BE BLESSED! AMEN!🙌🏻
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7
He didn't win a medal but he did win the hearts of everybody who watched him complete the race. People can win medals and never be remembered again but to come last and be remembered forever shows humans care more about what you put in then what you take away which was shown in this historic moment.

Thanks for writing this beautiful comment.
9 years later I still cry like a baby..so touching..humanity can definitely be restored..July 21 2019..
I don't know which 646 people disliked this but, I salute all of you who persevere, we will be by Derek's side forever." Never Give Up!"
I failed to qualify for exam to a prestigious service. Almost gave up. Then came across this video. Now I'm up again with more energy and hope.
Thank You 😢😢😢
SHAHNAWAZ. AHMAD. What exam
IAS?
Good luck bro
A year since the comment, did you make some progress?
God will bless you
I respect the hell outta Derek Redmond for finishing the race because of everything he did to get to that point and despite his injury to finish the race. Incredible moment from his dad as well for pushing past security to help his anguished son.
RIP Jim Redmond, who passed yesterday. Thank you for sharing this touching moment of love with the world.
RIP
God Bless You Connie Lynne. This is the only video in my 60 years on this earth that's ever moved me to tears.
this is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in tears right now
i pray who ever reads this becomes successful.
TRUST GOD
He might not won medal that day but he won million of hearts. More power to you. Don't give up !!
This video is a physical representation of the relationship between all of us and our Heavenly Father. It perfectly demonstrates his willingness and eagerness to come to our aid and prop us up when we are down and encourage us and reassure us, just like this father does for his son.
that_will_get_you_hit_69_69 YES!
So true, He's our ever present help. Christ our solid Rock!!!
Amen
Thank you for this. God bless you!!!

BY LORD JESUS CHRIST I will not give up 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Thank you for sharing. I will not give up, even that my father is not there anymore.
This made me so emotional. I had to fight back the tears.
Amazing I'm not giving up I feel his hamstring is my depression though I feel the pain I will finish my race of life
good luck to you
Thanks I've been staying positive living one day at a time sometimes one hour at a time always counting my blessings and letting my struggles make me better AVET87
I've been in your shoes before..I know your pain, but I also know your victories..and yes nothing comes close to those good days :)
Valerie Martinez you have got the right idea ,the pain you feel now wont last forever and you will be a stronger better person because of it good luck.;-)
I will finish it too :3
You wins lot of hearts and tears also
People would've forgotten him in few years if he would've been amongst the medal winners
But not giving up after the cramp
He will be remembered forever .
Failure is not the end of your Destiny.Its the armour to defend & succed against our dreams.Never give up☝
25 yrs later and still one of the best things to have ever happened
I just cried. It reminds me of life's situation. The security was doing his job but this had to work out this way to be a testimony to others. Blessings to the one who created this video. Blessings to Derek Redmond and his dad for the reminder to never give up. Man plans but God directs......
Try to fail but don't fail to try
..and yes salute to Derek and his father.. ..I also failed in my competitive exams...but ya this is not the end..I m gonna never give up...💓
'when you don't give up you cannot fail' love this
How about this: When you persevere you always win.
tashu.j18 the best, but the most 2nd
tashu.j18 exactly
Any one else cry or just me emotional teenage self 😭😭😭😭 the second he stoped I cried then his dad I lost it
Yb.cass
i cried too
Yb.cass
i don't know why i automatically cried
I remember this video was shown to me during school back in 2012 and I've watched this over the years and it still gets me in tears everytime 😭❤
Even the winner didn't get a standing ovation from a crowd of over 65,000...
Perfect Example of "If you don't quit , you can't fail " ❤️
I'm tearing up right now. They should really play this when they teach about the history of black people in school, I've never felt like this before, I feel like black people are people just like anyone else. Emotions. Love. Pain. Suffering. Ambitions. They're just like us! Very moving.
Well I am glad you feel this way.
I'm not personally black but I have a black friend who gets made fun of a lot for being a different color I showed him this and he started tearing up I thank you for making him feel this way god bless you
+parasitius wth are you talking about why are you so concerned with the color his skin is? the video doesnt have anything to do with it
i was really about to cry because i always gave up and failed so for the first time i want complete something and always think to never give up
same here
az-laar the demolisher, rot... in... Hell!...
i just hate when people come to youtube and complain. EX: I was bullied when i was a kid poor me i should tell everyone because i know everyone wants to know. LIKE pls n o i d o not want to here your pitty self talk
i was " bullied at school" A week later i became friends with the dude
Wow, very motivational and inspiring. I feel like this is how God comes to our side and picks us up when we fall during our race in life.
This relationship is more luminous than gold medal 🥇
I cried 90 seconds in and I'd never even heard of this dude before. Power of empathy as well as tear-jerking music.
this video changed my life 6 months ago and made me create my CZcams channel to change other's lives .. Thank you friend
Thank you for sharing... May you continue to follow your dreams and change others for the positive.
Highly inspirational ! Parents are always there to give a hand and to help us overcome sufferings. Great Derek; Great Dad!
The lesson here is you don't have to be number one, Any Position atleast you try your best. You being down but managed to go up and try again until you succeed. ♥️
Hello
@@nomimmutlwane8053 hi
this is truly inspirational
ama upeka Perera true
ama upeka Perera almost cried he never gave up
I was really moved. He is a real hero☆☆☆ inspiring and heart touching!!!!!!!!!!!
My eyes were soaked with tears...😢😢😢
I also standing after watching and I got that NEVER GIVE UP.
This video was in my school assembly:) my English teacher was crying🌟
Same here. We are using it for tomorrow assembly!
Katie how did it go? (:
+jenisly jensen really good thanks! There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Thanks for asking! ;)
I can clearly understand why was he crying. I'm also an English teacher. A linguistic teacher knows the feelings and emotions from the deep.
Same
If I was the one that won that race .I probably would've gave him the gold medal. 🥇nice video 👍🏼
He didn't lose anything, he won the best thing.. Such father ❤️
This is such a great video. I train children and adults to run marathons and I show them this video with each new group I teach. Thank you so much for putting this together. This video continues to inspire so many to believe in themselves as they work to find their greatness.
this should be a try not to cry vid
yes
Huh
+P Williams i was saying this should be a try not to cry video
P Williams someone tell marcus Butler 😂
This video touch my Hart I can't stop crying 😭😭😭😭
He held him at his first steps and then held him at his most important steps, any man can be a guy with a kid but its takes so much more to be a father, never giving up on you child, never letting them walk alone and holding them in their darkest moments is what a father does naturally.
I remember our teacher showing this to us in elementary years ago. I have never forgotten how inspiring this was.
how can i relate to this? very much, i was running along the road to life, my father died when i was 3 years old, then my mother left me to my grand parents, at the age of 13 i become independent and from then on i mange to send my self to college, no one was there, no one even during my college graduation day, i was father less and home less, now all the things i don't have before i give it to my family my wife and kids.
in times we get knocked down let's do our best to get up and finish the race no matter what, after all its about finishing strong. salute to all positive spirit out there.
Failure will never overtake me in my decision to succeed is strong enough.
dammit.... and this song was dedicated to my grandfather when he passed away. This hit hard.
I have never been this emotional but I couldnt stop my tears, so motivating & dad you are truly a hero with yourheroic son too.
This has make me to cry uncontrollably.. It flash me back. I will never forget what my dad and my former High school Principal does for me...
I love this video whoever hates it they need to open their eyes and see the true meaning of love and determination
As a tough guy I don't usually cry. But today something happened and watching this video, my eyes is a bit wet now. It's a great video

+Random Fantasy I am so profoundly blessed by all the beautiful people who post and share their hearts concernig this video.I feel honored that so many people have been touched by it.
There will always be haters...."Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Martin Luther King
Together we can become stronger as we don't give up on our dreams and our world :)
Only listen to the nice and loving people, the people who support you. The haters just aren't worth it. They don't know the meaning of kindness :) This has really touched me too, it brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. This happened a couple of years before I was born, so I didn't see it when it originally happened. I'm just sat here thinking "I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry!"
Thank you father-and-son duo , you make my cry like what ?
U cry like what after 5 year later? Welcome to 2020
Thank you for sharing this video. I am motivated and am crying at the same time. God bless you
Truely inspiring , tears in eyes , you can feel this😭💜🧡
This video is so powerful, I'm holding back tears
your daughter died? sorry for your loss. god bless that shes in a better place.
Yes she did, Yes she is in a better place.
One thing I have learned through her passing is... how blessed I was to have had her for 21 years. When people who we love pass away before, we think, they should... we should hold on to the beauty of the spirit that was only to be here for that time
Thank you for your thoughtful and kind words
Connie Lynne
Connie Lynne yes u said it all and the guy who said she should hang here head u ready should be a shame .OK what she said was something u would never think of and i thought it was beautiful so what do u have to say . if so find me at nioami988@gmail.com
+Connie Lynne She is at peace now. Nothing will ever hurt her. And some time, you will see her again. Bless her.
Yes, you have said that beautifully.. Thank you :)
+David Lawrence Yes, agree :) and she is. good reminder that we never know how long we have here on earth and to not take the moments for granted-thank you for your thoughtful words
Derek had deserved the first place since he didn't give up and he never stop to try even with his painful situation .Maybe he was the least in the race but people will never forget him . He is an inspiring person and sucessful one.
Real heroes r rarely available: he Is one this kind ,great for receiving standing ovation 👌
I watched it in assembly at school and the headteacher nearly made me cry because of this video
Yeah so did ours
+Becky Price and mine then I raised my hand and said this isn't a running race this is learning 😐
+Ryan Smith You should've understood that through this video, he was trying to teach you something.
Same
Those who wants the song....
Song Name: You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban.
Thanks a lot
A fantastic song if you ask me.
Thanks a lot 🙏❤️
