Two Signs Different Results

anton343 · 04-06-2009, 02:13 PM

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."

Both signs told people the boy was blind. While the first sign simply said the boy was blind, the second sign pointed the fortunate ones to their positive possibilities.

Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. Invite the people towards good with wisdom.

Wow, what an awesome post. Winning and complaining about the status quo will never take us far. we can only succeed if we help people to get what they want

In the case of the blind boy, he helped people to be grateful of the eyes God has given them and they were inspired and rewarded him for the Value he gave them!

Awesome Stuff

Nice one... I wondered where you were going with that. Gratitude is one of the most powerful tools we have.
