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 u said but in a different way."
What he had
written was: "Today is a beautiful day & I cannot see it."
Do you think
the first sign & 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 different and positive.
