Arthur Ashe, The legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS!
He got AIDS from the infected blood he received during a Heart Surgery in 1983. All around the world, people and fans were writing to him letters of affection and care. One of them conveyed:
"Why does GOD have to select you for such a Bad Disease?"
Arthur Ashe Replied:
In the world there are
- 5 million children who play tennis
- 5000,000 who learn to play tennis
- 500,000 who become professional tennis players
- 50,000 come to the circuit
- 5000 reach the Grand Slam
- 50 reach the Wimbledon
- 4 reach the semi-finals
- and 2 reach the finals
When I was holding the cup, I never asked God "Why me?". And today, in pain I should not be asking God "Why me?"
Some beautiful thoughts that a my father shared with me, and I share it with you to help you thank for a blessed life and stay happy!
Happiness keeps you Sweet
Trial keeps you Strong
and Sorrow keeps you Human
Failure keeps you Humble
Success keeps you Glowing
But only God keeps you going
Keep Going!
Life Gives Answer in Three ways:
- It says "Yes" and gives whatever you want
- It says "No" and gives you something better
- It says "Wait" and gives you the "Best"
