Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.
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 -- 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 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 you sweet,
Trials keep you strong,
Sorrow keeps you human,
Failure keeps you humble
and Success keeps you glowing,
but only Faith & Attitude keeps you going...
