"Why me ?"


Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.
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 -- 50,000,000 children
start playing tennis, 5,000,000 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?"
 
So if God chooses u for something bad, dont curse him... 'cuz at some point of time, he would have choosen u for something gud also.... Always have a positive atitude!!!

Our Parents

Pencil : I'm sorry.... Eraser : For what? You didn't do anything wrong. Pencil : I'm sorry cos you get hurt bcos of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time. Eraser : That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way... they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually pass on). Though their children will eventually find someone new

Wisdom & Knowledge

A long time ago in China, a metal worker fashioned a mirror for the first time ever. Looking at his reflection in the mirror, this man said: Oh, my God! My father has descended from heavens.   On seeing her husband talking to himself, his wife peeped into the mirror. She saw her own face and screamed: why are you talking to another woman?   The husband replied:  I  was not talking to a woman, I  was talking to my father !   His wife was furious.  She shouted:  Not only are you talking with other woman behind my back,  but you are also lying about it.  You must be having an affair !   A  preacher, who was passing by, heard the noise, stopped and looked at the mirror which started the quarrel.  On looking at the mirror he was shocked. He shouted with fury:  I  am the only preacher in this area.  Where did this monk come from ?   He flung the mirror on the ground and it broke into many pieces.   If he was a wise man, this would not have happened.   What is wisdom ?   Wisd

A Touching Life Story

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning  of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and  told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful   wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought
