What Life means to you?


A blind boy was sitting on the footpath holding a sign- "I am blind, please help."

There were hardly few coins in the hat as nobody bothered that a boy is blind.

A person passed through that place, put some coins in front of him. Then took the signboard from him, turned it around and wrote something. He gave the board back in the boy's hand.

Soon the hat began to fill up as more and more people were giving money to the blind boy.

In that afternoon, that man came back to see the changes and the boy recognized his footsteps and asked him, "What did you write?"

The man said, I just wrote the truth and convey the same thing as you were trying to convey but in a different way.

"I wrote: 'Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.'"

Both signs were similar in meaning but the first simply said that the boy is blind. The second sign told passersby that they were so blessed by God that they were not blind.

This was a story I read somewhere. There is one more similar real life story.

If you are fond of reality shows and had ever seen Dance India Dance aired on Zee TV, you might have seen the performance of 'Kamlesh Bhai' from Vadodara. He is physically handicap and couldn't walk on his legs. He is totally dependant on his hands for movement. His legs got polio and are totally lifeless. But despite all this, he is such a wonderful dancer that all were amazed to see his performance. Though he has only two hands for doing all the dance movements but that were enough to mesmerize the crowd.

Moral:
Be thankful to almighty GOD for what you have.
Be creative. Be innovative.
Think differently and positively. Just be optimistic.
When life gives you ten reasons to cry, show life that you have hundred reasons to smile.

Do remember:

Life is not about what you have.
It's about what you value and appreciate.

Life is not about what you are born with.
It's about what you do with what you have.

Life is not about crying over past.
It's about smiles to welcome the future.

Life is not about the gifts you received.
It's about the gifts you gave others.
Life is not about cribbing.
It's about thanking GOD for showing this universe.


So what life means to you?
Just share your views on life in two lines in the similar way I tried to do.
