Two Opposite Views – Nice one!

Here is how two people looking at the same thing can see it VERY differently.

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.’

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. Think differently and positively.

Live life with no excuses and love with no regrets.

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.

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…

And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

    disability is not something physically, its something mentaly. We will find so many examples around us about people who have some physical disabilities but living their lives respectfuly and with great objectives.

    Keeping in view moral of the story, we should discourage professional bagging.

    alhamdulillah for everything!

    a smile is the simplest thing to give to some one, yet if they are blind then helping is another way.

    Very well said.
    Great moral of the story. That’s the way to do it.
    We should actually see the bad things that happen to us as God’s way of testing our faith.
    Thank you God for all of our blessings.
    Thanks for the note 🙂
