Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Heard this story on the radio this morning. About an assistant of a minister, who always saying this phrase as his favourite: "The best one is the one that ALLAH has choosed for you".
One day, the minister was doing some works then accidentally, cutted one of his fingers. The minister told his assistant and as usual, he replied: "The best one is the one that ALLAH has choosed for you."
The minister was angry and decided to put his assistant behind bars. So the assistant was caught and put in the jail. While being arrested, the assistant repeated the same phrase again: "The best one is the one that ALLAH has choosed for you."
A few weeks after that, the minister decided to go for a expedition with his armies. During the trip, they were caught by a group of some aborigines at the area. This group have a ritual of sacrifising humans to their god. Therefore, the minister and his armies were used for the ritual.
Unfortunately, the minister was excepted as they found out that one of his fingers is missing. He was considered as imperfect and not suitable to be sacrifised. He was released and get to go back to his country.
When he reached his country, he meet with his assistant, who was in jail. He realised that what his assistant is true. He asked the assistant: "...but why do say that it is the best for you when you are being put in jail?"
He answered slowly: "Well, if I am not being arrested, I will be following you expedition and get killed as the others."

And indeed, being grateful and accepted all the things that ALLAH has choosed for you is the best. It may hard to accept it at first, but it is the best for you. =)
Only ALLAH knows the best.
