GOD gives something to everyone...... not everything to someone

 This is a reply which Aurtur Ashe, the legendary tennis player gave when asked by a reporter on how he felt while he was gradually dying from AIDS.

"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?’ "

 

One should be grateful to GOD for all the bounties he  has bestowed upon us instead of cursing him for something that we do not possess. We should realize how lucky we  are with all the luxuries of life bestowed upon us in one form or the other.

A story that keeps me driving ahead...... must read in times of depression

This is a story which i came across while I was preparing for a story recitation competition in my school. At that time I just mugged it up but later realized that it was relevant with respect to our lives too. Here it is......
Once upon a time there were two frogs. One day they both fell in a bucket full of milk. They both tried to stay afloat by swimming but were soon tired. One of them lost hope and drowned. The other meanwhile kept trying all night. He tried and tried and churned the milk into a small piece of butter which floated on the top of the bucket. In the morning he was sitting on top of the block of butter and eating the flies that were coming nearby.

What I learnt was that One should keep working hard and worry little about the outcome. The results will follow.
