Sometimes when tragedy strikes at home, we all ask ourselves - why me?
This is an inspirational message from Arthur Ashe, the celebrated Wimbeldon
Tennis Player.
Arhtuer Ashe was dying of Cancer. From World Over, he received letters
from his friends and admirers. One of the letters conveyed : " Why does
God have to select you for such a fatal disease?"
To this query Arthur Ashe replied :
"The world over - 5 billiOn children start playing Tennis,
5 million learn to play tennis,
0.5 million learn professional tennis,
50,000 come to the circuit,
5000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wilbeldon,
4 to semifnal,
2 to the finals.
when I was holding the Cup as winner I never asked GOD " WHY ME ?"
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD " WHY ME?"
HAPPINESS KEEPS YOU SWEET,
TRIALS KEEP YOU STRONG,
SORROW KEEPS YOU HUMAN,
FAILURE KEEPS YOU HUMBEL,
SUCCESS KEEPS YOU GLOWING,
BUT ONLY GOD KEEPS YOU GOING.
