Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of CANCER.  From world over, he received letters from his fans and obviously he couldn’t reply to every of them. But there was one letter he choose to reply. The letter asked:

"Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

Arthur choose to reply this one letter.

To this Arthur Ashe replied:

The world over – 50 million children start playing tennis,  5 million manage to learn to play tennis, half a million learn professional tennis, 50,000 make to the circuit, 5000 ever reach the grand slam, 50 actually reach Wimbledon,  just 4 to semi final, only 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?"
