Just a thought

A blind boy sat in 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 hat. He then 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 get filled. 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. I wrote, ‘today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.”
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. The second is: be creative. Be innovative. Think differently.
THERE IS ALWAYS A BETTER WAY!

Little Johnny and his family seldom had guests. Today, he was eager to help his mother after his father appeared with two dinner guests from the office. When the dinner was nearly over, Little Johnny went to the kitchen and proudly carried in the first piece of apple pie, giving it to his father who passed it to a guest. Little Johnny came in with a second piece of pie and gave it to his father, who again gave it to the other guests.
This was too much for little Johnny, who said, “it’s no use, dad. The pieces are all the same size.”

A man noticed a boy drowning. It was evident that the boy did not know swimming. The man dived into the lake. In moments, he caught the boy by his hair and pulled him back to the shore. By then the boy had swallowed a lot of water. The man extended the first aid he knew and the boy started breathing again. Knowing that the boy had been saved, the man moved on…Almost as if he had done nothing. The man would have hardly walked a few steps when he sensed someone holding his legs tight…it was the boy he had just rescued. Holding the legs of the man, the boy said,”Thank you for saving my life.” The man smiled at the boy with a lot of affection, held him by his shoulders and said, “My son, it is okay about your thank you, but please make the life I saved worth living.”

A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss were on the way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they came across a wonder lamp. They rubbed the lamp and a genie appeared. The genie said, “Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each.” So the eager senior manager shouted, “I want the first wish. I want to be in Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries.” Pfufffff! He was gone. Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted, “I want to be in Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails.” Pfufffff! And he was also gone. The boss calmly said, “In times of such recession we cannot afford such pleasures. So I want both the guys back in the office after lunch at 12.35 p.m.”

MORAL OF THE STORY: “always allow the boss to speak first.”
