Why ME ???

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:                                            

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?"                  

Be thankful to GOD for 98% of good things in life.
