A Beautiful Message

by Arthur Ashe ,

The legendary Wimbledon Player who was dying of AIDS , which he got due to Infected Blood he received during a Heart Surgery in 1983 !

During his illness , he received letters from his fans , one of which conveyed :

” Why did God have to select you for such a bad disease ? “

To this Arthur Ashe replied :

    ⁃    50 Million children started playing Tennis ,

    ⁃    5 Million learnt to play Tennis ,

    ⁃    500 000 learnt Professional Tennis ,

    ⁃    50 Thousand came to Circuit ,

    ⁃    5 Thousand reached Grand Slam ,

    ⁃    50 reached Wimbledon ,

    ⁃    4 reached the Semifinals ,

    ⁃    2 reached the Finals and

When I was holding the cup in my hand , I never asked God :

” Why Me ? “

So now that I’m in pain how can I ask God :

” Why Me ? “

Happiness … keeps you Sweet !

Trials … keep you Strong !

Sorrows … keep you Human !

Failure … keeps you Humble !

Success … keeps you Glowing !

But only , Faith … keeps you Going !

Sometimes you are not satisfied with your life , while many people in this world are dreaming of living your life .

A child on a farm sees a plane fly overhead dreams of flying , while  a pilot on the plane sees the farmhouse and dreams of returning home .

That’s life !

Enjoy yours … If wealth is the secret to happiness , then the rich should be dancing on the streets .

But only poor kids do that .

If power ensures security , then VIPs should walk unguarded .

But those who live simply , sleep soundly .

If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships , then celebrities should have the best marriages .

Live simply , be happy ! Walk humbly and love genuinely !
