這篇我今天早上從我老闆那裡收到的,我用了一個午餐時間把他翻成中文,希望你們可以有所領略.

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.
一個盲了眼睛的男孩坐在一棟舊房子的樓梯口，腳邊放著一頂帽子．一個牌子寫著：我是盲人，請幫忙．帽子裡面只有幾個錢幣．

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.

有一個男人經過．他從口袋裡掏出幾個錢幣丟進帽子裡．之後那個男人把牌子翻過來，寫了幾個字，再放回去．

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?'
越來越多人捐錢給盲男孩，沒隔多久，帽子就被錢幣填滿了．

那個男人特意經過看看盲男孩情形怎麼樣，盲男孩認得那個腳步聲，就問他道：你是那個早上改我牌子那個人嗎？你寫了什麼？
 

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.'
男人說：我只是寫了事實．我寫的跟你一樣，只是用不同的方式表達．

新的牌子寫著：今天是美麗的一天，可是我已經看不到了

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

你覺得第一個牌子跟第二個牌子寫的是一樣的嗎？

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?
當然兩個牌子的意思都是說明男孩已經瞎了的事實，但第一個牌子只是直接說男孩是一個瞎子．第二個牌子告訴其他人,其實他們很幸運,因為他們還看得見．

對於第二個牌子反應比較好我們應該覺得驚訝嗎？
 

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.
寓意：對於你已經擁有的東西，你應該要懂得感恩．要有創意，敢創新．要用不同的角度想事情，要樂觀一點，正面一點．

Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.
你要用你的智慧去幫助去帶領別人．沒有藉口，不要後悔，要用愛去努力生活．當你的生命告訴你，你有１００個理由哭，你就用１０００個理由去笑著生存下去．

不要後悔去面對過去，自信的活在當下，勇敢去準備未來．堅定你的信念，不要害怕．

Great men say, 'Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness.... In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience.'

偉人說：生命是一個不斷持續著修復跟重建的過程，途中你要學會摒棄惡魔，認識真諦．

在生命的旅途上，如果想不害怕，你一定要學會好的善惡觀念．

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling...

And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

世界上最美麗的就是可以看到一個人的笑容...

但更美麗的是，當你知道那個背後的原因是你!!!
