The Story Of A Blind Boy

email by lalaine competente.

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.

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.

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

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?

 
 
Moral of the Story:

Be thankful for what you have.

Be creative.

Be innovative.

Think differently and positively.
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.

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."
The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling.
And even more beautiful, Is knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

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?"

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."

A Heart

A sharp tongue can cut my own throat.

If I want my dreams to come true, i mustn't oversleep.

Off all the things I wear, my expression is the most important.

The best vitamins for making friends.... B1.

The  happiness of my life depends on the quality of my  thoughts.

The  heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge.

   One thing i can give and still keep... is my word.

I lie the loudest when i lie to myself.

If I lack the courage to start, I have already finished.

One thing I cant recycle is wasted time.

Ideas won't work unless 'I' do.

My mind is like a parachute.. it functions only when open.

 

The 10 commandments are not multiple choice.

The pursuit of happiness is a chase of a lifetime! Its never too late to become what I might have been.

Life  is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who  treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe  everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance,  grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let  it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised  it would be worth it.


Friends  are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not  get  them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and  problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly  away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's  wrong that we forget what's right and wrong. Sometimes we just  don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late.  I don't want to let that happen so I'm gonna tie you to my  heart so I never lose you. Send this to all your friends  including me and see how many you get back. Even send it to  your balloons that you think have flown away forever. You may  be surprised to see it return. Send this heart to everybody  you like. You may also return it to  me.

Minsan umaasa ako na isang araw matatapos din problema ko, para kasing walang katapusan, parang paulit ulit lang. kahit na minsan pinipilit mong gawing tama ang mga bagay bagay pero parepareho pa din ang kinakalabasan. hindi ko alam kung kaya ko pang dalin to wala naman akong mapaglabasan dahil malayo ako. ayaw ko ng magsabi sa pamilya at kaibigan ko dahil alam kong napapagod na din cla sa pakikinig. Minsan gusto ng sumabog ng ulo ko sa kakaisip walang katapusan. iniisip ko hangang kelan, hindi ako nawawalan ng pagasa pero tao ako nanghihina din ako paminsan minsan.sad part pa ung kaisa isang taong pinagkukunan ko ng lakas nalayo pa sakin.. as a person minsan kailangan natin ng nag co-comfort satin diba.. isang hug lang parang nababawasan na ang problema mo.. ang hirap ng magisa ka lalo na sa lugar pang napuntahan mo mahirap makakita ng tunay na kaibigan. karamihan nagdadaan lang. hindi mo naman inaasahan na tulungan ka sa lahat ng problema mo pero makinig lang sau ok na. ang bigat ng nararamdaman ko ngaun sobrang stress na ko.. nde ko lam kung hangang kelan pa ko lalaban...

Hay Buhay.. Parang Buhay..

"why am i fighting to live, if im just living to fight? why am I trying to see when there aint nothin in sight? why am i trying to give when no one gives me a try? why am i dying to live, if im just living to die?"

Galing to sa kantang Runnin' ng late rapper na si Tupac Shakur. Kung iisipin mo ang buhay napaka ironic diba.. may mga bagay na nanjan pero nde mo naman kailangan, pero ung mga bagay na wala un ang hinahanap natin.

Cguro talagang human nature na un, craving for something u dont have, eh panu mo nga naman mapapahalagahan ang isang bagay na araw araw mo na nakikita, ika nga nila, ur already used to it.. wala ng something special, at lalong wala na ang feeling ng excitement. pagkatapos pag nawala naman ung bagay na un, iiyak iyak ka.. dun mo malalman na importante pala..


Kagaya ng mga tao sa buhay natin, madalas nde natin sinasabi o ine-express kung gano cla kahalaga kasi lam natin nanjan lang cla.. tapos pag namatay cla (knock on wood..) saka tau magkakandarapa ng pag-iyak.. nde mo lam minsan kung ka-plastican nalang o ano.. xempre masakit talaga.. pero come to think of it.. do we really grieve because we lost someone or we're grieving coz that someone went ahead of us..?? nalulungkot ka kasi naiwan ka.. hindi ba napakaselfish naman nun.. 


im not saying na masama ang umiyak.. napaka impokrita ko naman kung sasabihin kong nde ako iiyak pagnawalan ako.. pero all im saying is we should learn how to express our feelings, kung galit ka magalit ka, kung malungkot ka umiyak ka, kung masaya ka tumawa ka. dont hold back, kasi malay mo too late na pala. at least alam ng mga taong mahal natin what we really feel for them hindi ung kung kelan wala saka ka magnagangangawa.. 


Kagaya din ng mga nagmamahal, ung torpe o ung mga hesitant, xempre minsa nagho-hold back tau kasi ayaw natin ng feeling of rejection, and believe me i had my moments.. (ouch un!!) pero diba, we need to face our fears kasi we'll never know what will happen next.. malay mo, head over heels pala sau ung tao pero like u hesitant din xa.  tapos pag nakita mo na xa kasama ng iba manghihinayang ka.. 


Kaya make up your mind people, anu ba talaga gusto mo.. ung tipong laging may what if sa end ng bawat sentence mo.. or kahit masakit close book na, wala ng chapter 2 and hindi ka na aasa..
