Why Me

WHY ME I have a friend whose words to me was always "why me" When ever he had a conflict with a member of his staff it was "why me" My answer to him was things will get better, as my father would say to me stay at the wicket and the runs will come. When a simple thing like his car braking down it was "why me" And again I would say stay at the wicket and the runs will come He got married and when that did not work out it was "why me" Finally I said "why not you" he became very wealthy at a young age, he worked very hard to become his own man, and with all his wealth he was still insecure and it was again, Juliet "why me" My answer, to him was you have done everything in life before the age of forty-five, now that you are in your late sixties, try something different like services to those in need without expecting anything in return. His answer was "yes why not me" His life is much richer and fulfilled these days, by serving others in need
