The blind man - oe-la-la - 12-05-2005
One day, there was a blind man sitting on the steps of a building with
a hat by his feet and a sign that read: "I am blind, please help".
A creative publicist was walking by him and stopped to observe. He saw
that the blind man had only a few coins in his hat. He dropped in a
few more coins and, without asking for permission, took the sign,
turned it around and wrote another announcement. He placed the sign by
the blind man's feet and left.
That afternoon the creative publicist returned to where the blind man
sat and noticed that his hat was full of bills and coins. The blind
man recognized his footsteps and asked if it was he who had re-written
his sign and he wanted to know what he had written on it.
The publicist responded: "Nothing that was not true, I just wrote your
sign out a little differently." He smiled and went on his way.
The new sign read: "TODAY IS SPRING AND I CANNOT SEE IT."
Sometimes you need to change your strategy when something does not go
your way and you'll see it may just be for the best.
Remember, if you always do what you've always done,
you'll always get what you've always got ... :daisy:
