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.

13 Places You Should Visit In before the end of 2013

Wikimedia Commons It's more than halfway through 2013 and even though the summer is winding down, there's still plenty of time to book a trip to a great destination. We looked at major developments, cultural trends, and global festivals to find the hottest places to travel around the world in 2013. There are vast untouched landscapes that offer incredible outdoor experiences, cities that are experiencing a cultural rebirth, and up-and-coming destinations that offer great deals and few tourists. London, England Since Kate Middleton gave birth to Prince George Alexander Louis last week , England has been in the national spotlight, and is expecting a tourism boost.

The 2012 Summer Olympics in London came and went, but many of the buildings, restaurants, hotels and venues that sprouted up to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of visitors who came for the Olympics still stand.

Samsung reportedly close to releasing Glass competitor — and Google’s involved

This one is definitely a rumor, but its source is reliable enough to warrant a little speculation. Analyst and blogger Eldar Murtazin tweeted a rather definite message this week that Samsung is “developing [its] own version of Google Glass. We will see it (probably) around April – May under Gear Glass brand.” Given that Google’s own version of Glass is not expected to hit the mass market until early 2014, Samsung’s Glass competitor could very well race Google’s to market. That might seem like a nightmare for Google, which has invested heavily in Glass and is no doubt planning for a strong event launch, but as was pointed out in a CNet article, the use of the word “Glass” implies an official partnership. Samsung is known for its aggressive branding and Google would likely raise legal concerns regardless, so it’s unlikely the brand Gear Glass would be used without a partnership. Does Google even want to sell Glass, or does it just want you wearing face-screens? ...
