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." 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 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. 
>
>The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling… 
>And even more beautiful, is knowing that you are the reason 
>behind it!!!
