Change for the Better

One day, a blind man sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet and a sign that read: "I am blind. Please help."

A creative publicist who was walking by stopped and noticed that there were only a few coins in the hat.

He dropped some coins into the had and, without asking for permission, took the sign, turned it around, and wrote something on it.

He placed the sign by the blind man's feet and left.

That afternoon the publicist returned and saw that the hat was full of bills and coins. The blind man recognised his footsteps and asked what he had written on the sign.

The publicist replied: "Nothing that was not true. I just rewrote it differently." He went on his way.

The blind man never knew it, but his new sign read: "TODAY IS SPRING AND I CANNOT SEE IT."

Change your strategy when something does not go your way and it will probably be for the better. Have faith that change can be good for you.
