为什么是我
《为什么是我》的作者阿瑟·阿什是温网历史上的传奇名将,因为在1983年的一次心脏手术中意外感染艾滋病毒,最终死于艾滋并发症。在罹病期间,他收到了很多粉丝的来信,其中有一封这样写道:
“上帝为什么选中了你来承受这种恶疾?”
阿瑟·阿什为这位粉丝回信道:
全球大约有5000万人在孩提时代接触到网球,
其中的500万人曾经学习这项运动,
他们中的50万人进行了专业训练,
但只有5万人能进入巡回比赛,
然后只有5千人能进入大满贯比赛,
再然后,只有50个人能来到温布尔登,
其中又只有4人能进入半决赛,
最后只有2个人能在决赛中一决高下,
最后的最后,当我捧起冠军奖杯时,
我从来没问过上帝说,“为什么是我”
所以,当现在我在这里承受病痛时,
难道我可以去质问亲爱的上帝
——“为什么是我”?
快乐让我们甜蜜可爱,
挫折让我们变得强大,
悲伤让我们通达人情,
失败让我们心怀谦虚,
成功让我们兴高采烈,
但是,唯有信念,让我们勇往直前!
人生之中,我们难免对生活心怀不满,殊不知世上有多少人,他们梦寐以求的却是过上我们正在过的生活。
农田里的孩子抬头看见飞机呼啸而过,他梦想着有朝一日自己也飞上蓝天,他不知道他无比羡慕的那位飞行员,无日无夜不在梦想着回到故乡,像他那样在田舍里无忧无虑地玩耍。
这就是人生。
我们都应该好好地享受自己的人生,而不是眼羡他人的幸福。
如果财富是快乐的秘诀,那富豪们应该开心得在街上起舞。但在大街上乐此不彼跑来跑去的,永远都是平常人家的孩子。
如果权势可以保证安全,那权贵们就不必再雇佣保镖。但事实上每晚都能酣然入睡的,总是那些一无所求的普通百姓。
如果美貌和盛名可以带来完美的婚姻,那传媒上应该鲜有名流婚变的报道。
过简单质朴的生活吧,并享受由此而来的真正的快乐!在人生之路上永远保持谦逊,并至真至诚地去爱他人!
《为什么是我》这一篇箴言,除了要好好品读和多多转发,我们更应将之随时随地的运用到日常生活中。
英文原文
“Why me?”
A Beautiful Message By Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon Player who was dying of AIDS, which he got due to Infected Blood he received during a Heart Surgery in 1983!
During his illness, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:
“Why did God have to select you for such a bad disease?”
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
50 Million children started playing Tennis,
5 Million learnt to play Tennis,
500 000 learnt Professional Tennis,
50 Thousand came to Circuit,
5 Thousand reached Grand Slam,
50 reached Wimbledon,
4 reached the Semifinals,
2 reached the Finals and
when I was holding the cup in my hand,
I never asked God:
“Why Me?”
So now that I’m in pain how can I ask God:
“Why Me?”
Happiness… keeps you Sweet!
Trials… keep you strong!
Sorrows… keep you Human!
Failure… keeps you Humble!
Success… keeps you Glowing!
But only, Faith… keeps you going!
Sometimes you are not satisfied with your life,
while many people in this world are dreaming of living your life.
A child on a farm sees a plane fly overhead dreams of flying,
while a pilot on the plane sees the farmhouse and dreams of returning home.
That’s life! Enjoy yours...
If wealth is the secret to happiness,
then the rich should be dancing on the streets.
But only poor kids do that.
If power ensures security,
then VIPs should walk unguarded.
But those who live simply, sleep soundly.
If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships,
then celebrities should have the best marriages.
Live simply, be happy! Walk humbly and love genuinely!
WHY ME? A Beautiful Message not just to read and forward but to apply practically in our personal life.
