Out Of 5 Lakh Players Only 50000 Players Become Professional Tennis Players. Out Of 50000 Professional Tennis Players Only 5000 Players Are Able To Play Full-time Tennis. Out Of 5000 Full-time Players Only 500 Are Selected For Wimbledon. Out Of 500 Only 4, Players Make Their Way To the Semi-Finals. Two Players Make Their Way To The Final And One Player lifts The Cup. And God Has Chosen Me Thrice To Lift The Cup. When I Was Chosen By God To Lift The Cup. I Never Questioned Him “Why Me”? “Why Did You Choose Me To Lift The Cup? .
So In My Good Time, I Never Questioned Him “Why Me?” So In My Bad Times, I Have No Right To Question God Why Did This Happen To Me? And This Reply Is Engraved On A Wall In Wimbledon. Arthur Ashe’s Message To The World Is Very Simple .” Always Have The Attitude Of Gratitude”.
Be Thankful For Whatever You Have Accomplished. And Don’t Blame Circumstances, God, And Family For Bad Times.
