Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of CANCER. 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 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?” 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.
What a humble gesture! I praise you brother!
Mr. Ashe said it absolutely right.
LET’S KEEP GOING… for OUR LIFE… and in the same time LET’S PRAY FOR Arthur Ashe’S SOUL…
WOW
So profound. Amazing man! We as a people can only aspire to be so poignant and accepting.
Wish more athletes were like him
Beautiful
AMEN!!!<3
