Be Innovative, Be Creative

A blind boy sat by the street corner with a hat by his feet and a sign which read “I am blind, please help”.
There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man walked pass, took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat.
He then took the sign, turned it around and wrote come 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 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 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?
Both signs told people the boy is blind.
But the first sign simply said the boy was blind.
The second sign told people they were lucky that they were not blind.

Be creative, be innovative, think differently and positively.
