A Story...

A blind boy sat on the steps
Of a building with a hat by feet.
He held up a sign which said:
I am blind, please help,"
There were only a few coins in his 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.

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 foot steps 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," I wrote:
"today is a beautiful day but I cannot See it."
Both signs told people
That the boy was blind.
But the first sign simply said the boy was blind.
The second sign told people that
They were so lucky that they were not blind.
Should we be surprised that
The second sign was more effective?

Moral of story:
Be thankful for what you have.
Be creative. Be innovative.
Think differently and positively.

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 without regret.
Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.
Keep the faith and drop the fear.

The most beautiful thing
Is to see a person smiling...
And even more beautiful is knowing
That you are the reason behind it!!!

Sometimes I need a reminder to be thankful
For the blessings I have been given .....
