一个双目失明的男孩坐在大楼前的台阶上,脚边摆着一顶帽子。
他立了一块牌子,上面写着:“我是瞎子,请帮助我。”那帽子里只有寥寥几枚硬币。
一个路人从旁边走过,他从口袋里掏出几枚硬币,放在帽子里。然后,他拿起牌子,翻到另一面写了些字。随后他把牌子放回去,让所有路过的人都能看见牌子上新写的字。
很快,帽子里的钱就多起来了。越来越多的人把钱给这个失明的孩子。下午,改写牌子的人回来看看情况。男孩听出了他的脚步声,问道:“您是早上帮我改写牌子的人吗?您写了什么?”
那人说:“我只是写出了事实。我表达的意思和你一样,只是用了另一种方式。我写的是:“今天是美好的一天,而我却无法看见。”
两个牌子都告诉人们男孩是盲人,但第一个牌子只是简单地讲述了这一事实;而第二个牌子却告诉人们,他们是如此幸运,因为他们不是盲人。所以说,第二个牌子效果更佳,并没有什么好惊讶的不是吗?
感激你所拥有的一切吧!但要记住,你要创造,学会用不同的方式进行积极的思考。
