By Sola Kolawole Several years ago as an undergraduate, I came across a piece of creed titled; “The Laws of Sportsmanship.” These laws have influenced me positively since I first came across them. They are credited to one Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka, the founder of ASICS, a Japanese athletic equipment company that produces professional footwear and sports equipment.

An apparently depressed patient at Addington Hospital, Durban, South Africa decides to commit suicide to end it all but sees no opportunity. She ponders the issue for a moment, and hits upon a brilliant ploy to pretend she wanted to call a certain gentleman somewhere in town.
