Inspiring Story: Think Positively

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.

Inspiring Story of Two Friends

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. 

During some point of the journey they had an argument, and 

one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got

 slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, 

wrote in the sand: 

"Today My Best Friend Slapped me in the Face"

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided

 to take a bath. The one, who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire 

and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After the friend 

recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: 

"Today My Best Friend Saved My Life.."

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, 

"After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, 

why?"  The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us, 

we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase 

ever erase it."

Wonderful Story of Wealth, Love & Success

A woman came out of her house and saw three old men 

with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did 

not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but 

you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.

"No", she replied. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him 

what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"

The woman went out and invited the men in.

"We do not go into a House together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," 

he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing 

to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, 

"Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us 

you want in your home?"

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. 

Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!", he said. "Since that 

is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our 

home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner 

of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: 

"Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be 

filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband 

to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one 

of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. 

The other two old men also got up and followed him. Surprised, 

the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, 

Why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, 

the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you 

invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. 

Lesson from this Story:

Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!"
