Heart Of Gratitude

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!!!

Enjoy your day with a heart of gratitude .
