The Girl With No Sight

There was a little girl, this girl had nothing good going on in her life, she was poor and homeless and to make things worse she was also born blind.

She sat on a pavement right down the street with a raggedy hat right in front of where she was sitting, she had a sign that said: "I'm blind, please help" there was maybe one or two coins in her hat.

A young man happened to pass by, he noticed the little blind girl and he took a few coins out of his pockets and added them to the ones that were already there. He later took the little girls sign and turned it around and wrote a few words. He put the sign back where it was so everyone who would pass can see the new sign.

And soon the raggedy hat started to fill up more and more with each passer, so many people were giving coins and bills to the little blind girl.

Later in the afternoon, the same man who have changed the sign came back just to see how things have changed because he has changed the sign. The girl recognized him by the sound of the footsteps his shoes made, she asked him, "were you the one who picked up my sign and changed something in it this morning? please sir what did you write?

The man smiled and said: "I only wrote the truth, I said what you have said originally but in a different way. "I wrote, today is such a beautiful day, but I cannot see it."

You see, both of the signs said that the little girl was blind, but the first sign simply said that the girl was blind. But the second sign told the people that they were lucky that they were not blind, and that they can see the beautiful day that they are living in.

Should you be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

The moralistic thing about the story is that,

You should be thankful for what you have and what you got. Be innovative, be creative. Think outside of the box, think differently and positively. when your life gives you a thousand reasons to cry, just fight back by showing life that you have a million reasons to smile!

Face your past without any regret, prepare for your future without any fear, believe in your self and keep the faith and drop the fears.

One of the most beautiful things in the world is to see a person smile, specially those who are in need. And even more beautiful is knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

Just think about it... God can be anywhere in the vast universe, and he chose your heart.

This doesn't need any review... or insight. Nothing. This is one story that should be shared to all and as far as it can go. This was a life lesson. A Life lesson that all should keep close to their hearts... Although... most sadly come to forget and not take the time to stop and consider. Nice Story. Really.

Thank you Joanna, Im really glad to know your thoughts about this, I agree with you a 100%
People do tend to forget the little ones or the ones than need attention, people now days are too selfish to see the errors around them with no action to be taken.

Thank you for your review :)

Im glad you liked it and yes we are meant to see the world in its beauty even if someones blind, they can see it in other peoples eyes or experience it with others, life is meant to be lived no matter what are the obstacles that are thrown at us, we only got one, why not live it fully regarding of the obstacles ahead.

Thank you again for your time to read and comment :)

Mr. Joey Nizz, obstacles are part of life its never easy even when its easy that's why i am a warrior. I find that most people are blind regardless of eye sight. Everyone is in a hurry to get no where in my city they might not have even seen the girl.. Keep up the good work.

I agree with you, obstacles are part of life, and we should learn to go pass them to make us better than what we were before th obstacles, some people just quit when life is too hard, I dont really agree with the quitting method, people should learn a thing or too about chasing thgeir dreams or making a stand for what they believe in or fighting for something that they want, in life, specially nowadays should learn to be warriors to overcome or to achieve or even win.
People should not always be in a hurry, with time things will fall into place, and like they say patience is a virtue, wait and work hard and you'll get what you truly deserve.

To smile and laugh have to be two of the greatest gifts we have. The ability to change someones day for the better is powerful. Optimism and being positive. You're on a roll Joey. Good stuff man:)

[Joey Nizz]

Yes, I agree! they are the greatest gifts to have and to give, a smile can have a lot of power if we use it, and laughter brings joy, to the lonely and the broken.

Thank you for your words and your review :)

Im really glad that you think so and even more glad that you think it is especially for you at a personal level, sometimes you have to let go of the past or whatever is bothering you, life is too short for regrets or feelings down or sorry for your self, live today for a better tomorrow. :)
