Sharing with you 1 good article I came across.........

 

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.

Be creative.

Be innovative.

Think differently and positively.

 

I'm sad.

Sad like butterflies pinned to cardboard boxes.

Sad like books with torn pages, ocean shores empty of bathers.

I am sad like unfinished stories ...
