LIFE: Arthur Ashe

ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE!

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 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?' "

 

"Happiness keeps you Sweet,

Trials keep you Strong,

Sorrow keeps you Human,

Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing,

but

only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going...

जीवन: द्विपदी

जीवन: द्विपदी
नहीं खास की उपस्थिति, बिन जीवन हो व्यर्थ।
दे अनुभूति विशिष्ट ही, जीवन को नव-अर्थ।।

LIFE

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but 
shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, 
but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and 
smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees 
but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more 
problems, more medicine, but less wellness. 

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, 
drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too 
little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our 
possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and 
hate too often. 

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to 
life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but 
have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer 
space but not inner space. 

We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, 
but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. 

We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. 

We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold 
more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less 
and less. 

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small 
character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of 
two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. 

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one 
night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, 
to quiet, to kill. 

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the 
stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time 
when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete. 

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going 
to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to 
you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your 
side. 

Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you because that is the only 
treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, 
to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all 
mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep 
inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday 
that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak 
and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind

A message : beena sharma

This is a beautiful article:

The woman in your life...very well expressed...

Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as
you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your
Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as
much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook
food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply
Because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise

One, who can be late from work once in a while whendeadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important,
relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some
and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this......

Please appreciate "HER"

I hope you will do....

Respect Her.

Forward this to as many women as possible... they'll love you for it!
Forward this to as many men as you can so that they'll know why women are so special.
