Very happy day, my loving readers and visitors,
Do you believe that life is lovely wonderful? To prove this statement is right, please read the story below,
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 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 of the Story:
Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.
Invite the people towards good with wisdom. 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. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.
Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.
Always get your perspective right.
Trust the above has lifted you up and stay tuned always by subscribe to this blog.
Have a lovely wonderful day,
James Oh
Hearty welcome
Great thought! I think it's easy sometimes to focus on what's going wrong, but that's probably when it's most important to focus on what's gone right. :)

Have a lovely wonderful day,
Would like to share a chorus of a song by Glen Campbell - "Try A Little Kindness"
ReplyDelete[You got to try a little kindness,
Show a little kindness,
Shine your light for everyone to see,
And if you try a little kindness,
Then you'll overlook the blindness..]
Lifting a hand to change the wordings is of little effort but to that blind person is a great difference.
Oh! Cheah, great thanks for sharing such a lovely meaningful song with us. It is really enlightening this post at the same time reaffirm the fact that a small act can bring such a great significant impact to others.
ReplyDeleteMay I be allowed to paste this song on one of my other blogs.
