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
Do you think the first sign and 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
