Question

A blind boy sat there 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 out a few coins and dropped them into the hat .He then turned the sign around and wrote something on it. He put the sign back and walked away.

　　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 ask, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you do?”

　　The man said, “I only wrote the truth in a different way.”

　　What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”

　　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 one 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, while the second one told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.

　　There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.

　　Treasure (珍惜) what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.

　  Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.
