“ Why me”and “Why not me”

今天读到一个“WHY ME?” 的故事：“Arthur is the legendary Wimbledon Player who was dying of AIDS, which he got due to Infected Blood he received during a Heart Surgery in 1983!

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?"

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. But, a pilot on the plane sees the farm house & dreams of returning home……

Strong minds suffer without Complaining and weak minds complain without suffering. ”

管理学家柯林斯的2个比喻：照镜子和看窗外”和上面的故事异曲同工。他研究了数以万计的企业，试图从中寻找伟大企业家的共同点，最后他发现了几个规律，其中有一条“优秀的企业家，在一切顺风顺水的时候，习惯归结为运气等外在因素，也就是“看窗外”。而当遭遇困难的时候，会从自己身上找原因，也就说“照镜子”。而很多最终失败的企业家则恰恰相反，他们在成功的时候照镜子，认为是自己的能力强。他们在不顺的时候看窗外，认为是运气差。”

每个人在生活和工作中有高潮也有低谷，有些在意料之中，而很多突如其来。在未能如愿时我们经常会问“Why not me”，而在要接受未期待情形时我们经常会问“Why me”。要冷静客观地想清楚“Why me”和“Why not me”的确不容易，拥有强大内心才能面对最真实的自己，需要不断修炼…
