A Better Way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                 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 m 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 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 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.
 
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    differntly                      . 

THERE IS ALWAYS A    BETTER  WAY!”

Today's Dreams Are Tomorrow's Successes...............

Don't be afraid of high hopes
or plans that seem to be out of reach.
Life is meant to be experienced,
and every situation allows for
learning and growth.

Motivation is a positive starting point,
and action places you on a forward path.
A dream is a blueprint
of a goal not yet achieved;
the only difference between the two
is the effort involved in attaining
what you hope to accomplish.

Let your mind and heart urge you on;
allow the power of your will
to lead you to your destination.

Don't count the steps ahead;
just add up the total
of steps already covered,
and multiply it by
faith, confidence, and endurance.

Always remember that
for those who persist,
today's dreams are transformed
into tomorrow's successes.............

A positive outlook can help you to cope better with stressful situations and can change your life for the better.
