Why Me?
A really good and touching story.....................
Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS. From
world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed :
"Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
In the world over 5 crore children start playing tennis, 50 lakh learn
to play tennis, 5 lakh learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the
circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbeldon, 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.

No, it is no joke. Arthur Ashe died of AIDS in 1993, and I believe he did say this when asked why God had given him such a bad disease - although not exactly the same words (certainly not the lakhs and crores!).
