Sometimes when tragedy strikes us, we all ask to God - Why Me? Here is an inspirational message from Arthur Ashe, a famous tennis player.
Arthur Ashe was dying of cancer. From world over he recived letters from his friends, fans and admirers. One of the letters conveyed: "Why does God have to select you for such a fatal disease? To this query Arthur Ashe replied:
The world over - 5 billion children start playing tennis,
5 million learn to play tennis
0.5 million learn professional tennis
50,000 come to the circuit
5000 play in the international tennis events and grandslams.
50 reach in
4 reaches to semifinal
2 to the finals

When I was holding the cup as winner I never asked God "Why Me?"
And today when I am in Pain how can I ask him "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!
