How you come into life is not your fault but what you become!

Hassan Farah (left and middle) and Mohammed 'Mo' Farah (Right)

Hassan Farah, left, has revealed he and his twins brother, Mohammed "Mo" Farah (a British Somali international track and field athlete) had such a close bond that they slept in the same bed and shared food from the same plate. But the boys were forced to say goodbye at the age of eight when their parents made the agonising decision to send three of their six children, including Mo (right), to Britain for a chance of a better life. Hassan remained in Somalia and grew up in the dust and poverty Mo had left behind.

He knew that how he came into life is not his fault but what he becomes in life. So, despite his adversity, he went on to become a successful telecoms communications engineer while Mo is the current 10,000 m Olympic champion and 5000 m Olympic and world champion!
