A Good Thought

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.
