Think... before we ask ourselves, 'Why not me?'

We tend to compare ourselves with those 'fortunate' people who seem to have everything we wish for. Perhaps, we are thinking, 'Why are we not as fortunate as those people?'

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS because of infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.

He received letters from his fans the world over, 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 Wimbledon, 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?' "
