Arthur Ashe
Another golden piece from the past. Very True and leaves a strong mark. We do’nt count our blessings and get very shaken faced with adversity.
Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player, was dying of AIDS ( which he got due to infected blood, he received during heart surgery in 1983) From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed his sentiments:
“Why does GOD have to select you for such a fatal disease”?
To this Arthur, Ashe replied:
The world over
- 50 million 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 Wimbledon,
- 4 to semi final,
- 2 to the finals,
When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD “Why me?”.
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD “Why me?”
Happiness keeps u Sweet, Trials keep u Strong, Sorrow keeps u Human, Failure Keeps u Humble, Success keeps u glowing, but only God Keeps u going. The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.”
God bless you all
