Description
Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player, was dying of cancer. He received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: “Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease”?
To this Ashe replied: “The world over, 5 crore children start playing tennis, 50 lakh learn to play, 5 lakh learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the Grand Slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi finals, 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 you Sweet
Trials keep you Strong
Sorrow keeps you Human
Failure keeps you Humble
Success keeps you Glowing
But only God keeps you going…
