ALWAYS BE THANKFUL

By
A blind boy Chris sat on the steps of a
building with an empty cup 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
empty cup.
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 cup 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 wrote?"
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."
QUESTION:
Do you think the first sign and the second
sign were saying the same thing?
ANSWER:
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
blessed that they were not blind and can see
beautiful things.
Should we be surprised that the second sign
was more effective?
NOTE----->
Be THANKFUL for what you have.
Think differently and positively.
Live life with no excuse and love with no
regrets.
When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry,
show life that you have 1000 reasons to
smile.
The most beautiful thing is to see a person
smiling…
And even more beautiful knowing that you
are the reason behind it!!!
Remember, where there is life, there is hope.

By
 After all i have said about this fraternity if you are still interested in becoming a mason there are just simply ways in which you can do that, but inspite of my post i am neither encouraging nor discouraging you all i am doing is just to let you know more about this frat and there's more to come about those who have joined, the so called stars like jay-z, kanye west etc i guess its just 7 simple ways to join and off you go  Are there things you want to accomplish in your life? Are there ways you want to enrich yourself? Do you enjoy being with people you like and respect? As a Freemason, you’ll find friendship and fraternity.

Think about taking the first step into becoming a Mason. It is widely thought that one must be invited to become a Freemason or that Freemasonry is so exclusive as to be b...
