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, 5,000,000 learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to finals,when I was holding the cup I never asked GOD “WHY ME?”.

And today in pain I should not be asking GOD “WHY ME?”

Thanks to brother Uvaraja for the article.

Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient?

If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous?

If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?

“Live life fully while you’re here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You’re going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don’t try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.”
