Satsang Thought for the day

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 told
people to help by putting some money in the hat. 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. 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
The first is: Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently.
THERE IS ALWAYS A BETTER WAY!
The second is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone
else has less. Help where you can and make it a great
week ahead!!!
