In a beautiful day, there was a place in the city full of crowd and a blind boy having tear and dirty cloths, sat on the road side. He displayed a sign board with a hat in his feet. The sign board said, “I am blind and please help me” and there were only few coins in the hat. Many people were coming and going through that ignoring the boy. But a young man had a look at this boy and his sign board. He paused for a second and came near that boy. He picked some coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. Then he took the sign board and flipped it and wrote some words and placed it such that the newly written words will be visible to people walking there. Then he left that place. Soon after that the hat began to fill up. Many people coming and dropping coins. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The blind boy was very happy and he recognized his footsteps and excitingly asked,” Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said, “I only wrote the truth, but in a different way.” I wrote, “Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.”.
If you think both
the signs were saying the same thing that the Boy was blind and he needed help.
But the impact of the second sign was much more. It means that they were able
to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was
blind. This story convey that there is always a way, there is always multiple
ways, in fact there is always a better way if you are creative, if you are
innovative and if you think differently.
