How a Simple Sign Change Transformed a Blind Man's Day: What Can We Learn?

In order to change our strategy, I suggest you read this story:

One day, there was a blind man sitting on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet and a sign that read "I am blind, please help."

A creative publicist was walking by him and stopped to observe that he only had a few coins in his hat. He dropped a few more coins in the hat and, without asking for permission, took the sign, turned it around, and wrote another announcement.

He placed the sign by the man's feet and left. That afternoon, the creative publicist returned by the blind man and noticed that his hat was full of bills and coins. The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked if it was he who had rewritten his sign and wanted to know what he had written on it.

The publicist responded, "Nothing that was not true, I just rewrote your sign differently." He smiled and went on his way. The blind man never knew, but his new sign read, "TODAY IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND I CANNOT SEE IT."

Moral of the story: Change your strategy when something does not go your way, and you'll see it will probably be for the best. Have faith that every change is best for our lives.
