     A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I
am blind,' please help. " There were only a few coins in the hat.
     A man was walking by.  He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat.  He
then  took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who
walked by would see the new words.
     Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more 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, "Were you the one who changed my sign this 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  and 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.
     The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that
they  were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Jack Johnson is one of the most popular singer-songwriters in the world. Jack was born on May 18, 1975 in Hawaii. Being the son of a famous surfer, Jack naturally has an interest in surfing. Most of his life lessons were learned in the water. At the age of 17, Jack entered the finals of the Pineline Masters---the world’s most famous surfing competition. Everyone thought Jack would become a professional surfer like his father. Unluckily, one month later, he had a deadly accident while surfing and was seriously hurt.
Life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. Jack started to practice playing the guitar and write songs when he was staying in hospital. At first, his father thought Jack only did it for fun, but soon he was surprised at the great progress his son had made.
When studying in the university, Jack didn’t stop practicing his guitar skills. He played the guitar for school parties. He wrote songs and sang for his teachers and friends. They liked his songs. His first music album Brushfire Fairytales came out in 2001. It was a great success. His second album, On and On, was much like his first one. They were filled with sweet, easy-going songs that everybody liked listening to. Later, Jack had lots of concerts in and out of America. He became popular all over the world.
Jack had five albums by 2010 and more than 15 million copies of them were sold. His music doesn’t fit into any of the popular music styles like pop, rock, R&B or hip-hop. It is more like fold music, played with a guitar and beautiful voice. When listening to his songs, you feel like lying on the beach enjoying the warm sunshine.
Jack is a talent, though he himself says he is only a surfer who loves music. In his songs we can find his secret of success: Whatever happens in our lives, we have to accept it and do the best we can.
