[This message contained attachments that have been removed.] There is always a BETTER way! 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 few coins in the Hat A man was walking by. He took few Coins from his pocket and Dropped them in 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 will 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 the things were The Boy recognised his footstep and asked, Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write? The mans 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 that the first sign and the second sign Said the same thing? Of Course both sign told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people the boy was blind The Second sign told people that they were able to enjoy The beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it Because he was blind Should we be surprised that the second sign was more? Effective? There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story The first is, "Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can." The Second is, Be Creative, Be Innovative, Think Differently. There is always a Better Way What will you do about it? The least you can do is let others know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Poetry is what gets lost in translation. -Robert Frost, poet (1874-1963) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To join/leave, use the form at: http://www.mumbai-central.com/nukkad/#options This list is archived at: http://www.mumbai-central.com/nukkad/archive.html
