It's a beautiful day and I can't see it. (Story time)

Nairobi, Kenya

When we were at the Easter celebration camp, one of the speaker told us a short story. There was a blind man who was a beggar. There was a small board he had written on it "I am blind please help." So people would pass him by but only few donated. Another young lady passed by him and saw the board next to the blind man. She stood there, took the board and wrote on the other side, " it's a beautiful day but I can't see it" then she placed it back next to the blind man. Many people donated many coins. This story teaches us about mindset and our thinking. We should always be positive.

I love this story, often is how you present problems that make the difference.

Exactly. Sometimes we need help from others to be able to express ourselves better.

I love this story. We should think positively but not everyone can do that. In my opinion, that is why we should live in the community.

I agree. We can't do it on our own. We need others to help and remind us to always be positive.

I've heard this story. It's a good one on how we should change our perspective about what we see and be more positive.

i think i remember this story, i perhaps saw it on youtube also or somewhere. yes, it is all about thinking but if we are really miserable, it is not easy to reach positivity just like that

You are right. When someone is depressed, it's hard to be positive. We need people and friends around us to help us think positively.
