ALWAYS BE THANKFUL

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.

50 life lessons you can still learn now that your young.....

You’re stronger than you think you are. Mistakes teach you important lessons. Every time you make one, you’re one step closer to your goal. There is nothing to hold you back except you. You can press forward long after you can’t. It’s a matter of wanting it bad enough. No matter how much progress you make there will always be the people who insist that whatever you’re trying to do is impossible. You are limited only by your own imagination. Let it fly. Perception is reality. Your instincts can be trusted. There is only one question to ask yourself: “What would you do if you were not afraid?” It’s often hard to tell just how close you are to success. The only mistake that can truly hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because you’re too scared to make a mistake. Never let success get to your head, and never let failure get to your heart. You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how ...
