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
recognised 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. "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
reminded people how fortunate they were to
have their sight. 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. 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. It's a beautiful thing to see a person
smiling. But even more beautiful is knowing that
you are the reason for the smile!Faith is not
about everything turning out OK. Faith is about
being OK no matter how things turn out. If you
