A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He
held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only
a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped
them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote
some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would
see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to
the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to
see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were
you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a
different way."
What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it."
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign
simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were
so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the
second sign was more effective?
Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be
innovative. Think differently and positively.
Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and
love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show
life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without
regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future
without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.
Great men say, "Life has to be an incessant process of repair and
reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness…. In the
journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the
ticket of a good conscience."
The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!
