***** Nice Fact Of Life *****

[AdminOnline]

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 u 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

but honestly, blind people amzae me. they live normal lives, they work and have families, i know one guy who knows a holy book off by heart.

i tried closing my eyes on time in the kitchen and doing everything like that. i knew where everything was and i stil couldn't manage.

blind people honestly amaze me.

so how did the boy write the sign in the first place?? maybe he wrote it in braille, which is why it was ineffective in the first place. just another thought.
