Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS,
which he got due to the infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.
From the 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 question Arthur Ashe replied : -
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, 500 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.....Keep Going............
i have to mention a quote,at this juncture.
This quote is from the rich poem of the great master 'Omar Khayam '.
"In cell and cloister, in monastery and synagogue,
Some fear hell and others dream of Paradise.
But no man who really knows the secrets of his
God has planted seeds like this, within his heart" .
if you want to know more about him just log into his official website:-
“I have tried to keep on with my
striving because this is the only
hope I have of ever achieving
anything worthwhile and lasting.”
