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." 一個失明的男孩坐在一個大廈的階梯上,擺了一頂帽子在他的腳旁, There were only a few coins in the hat. 帽子裡只有幾枚硬幣。 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. 一個男人經過了,他從口袋裡掏出了幾枚硬幣投入帽子裡。然後, 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. 帽子很快的開始填滿了錢。更多人給失明的男孩更多的硬幣。午後, The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?" 男孩認出了他的腳步並問:「 The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." 那人說:「我只是寫真相。 我說了你原本的意思, What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it." 他寫的是:「今天是美好的一天,但我卻不能看見。」 Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? 你認為第一個告示和第二個告示寫的是同一件事嗎? Of course both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. 當然兩個告示都是告訴別人男孩是失明的。 But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. 但第一個告示單純地告訴人投入一些錢在帽子裡以便幫助這位男孩。 The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind. 第二個告示告訴人們他們能享受美麗的一天,但男孩不可能享受它, 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? 第一個告示只訴說了男孩是瞎的。第二個告示告訴人們(自己)是多 Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative.
