"I am blind. Please help me."
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket
and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. ①He
put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. ②More 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, "Are
you the one who changed my sign in the 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, but I cannot see it."
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 told people to help by putting
some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day. But
the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Treasure what you have.
Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.

Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is “happier”, then you are right, based on a study published five years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.
The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.
The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.
So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
