Arthur
Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player, was dying of a blood infection,
which he got due to 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 Arthur replied, “The world over, 50,000,000 children start playing
tennis every year, 5,000,000 learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn
professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5,000 reach the great
slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 reach the semi-finals, 2 to the finals. When
I was holding the cup, I never asked God, ‘Why me?’ So today in pain I
should not be asking God, ‘Why me?’ either.”....Copyright © 2015.
