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 u the one who changed my sign this morning? What did u 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
differently and positively. Invite the people 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.
Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Life is wonderful if you know how
to live

hi sari,
The story was beautifully narrated. It is so simple with deeper sense of understanding things positively. It truly explained about the strength and difference in understanding things around us, purely depends upon the attitude of individual.
Such short messages will give greater inner strength for those who always feel that they lost many in their life.
Thanks for reminded the facts of life i.e think positively and beautifully.
