Dicen que una vez, había un ciego sentado en la vereda, con una gorra a sus pies y un pedazo de madera que, escrito con tiza blanca, decía: "POR FAVOR AYÚDEME, SOY CIEGO".
Un creativo de publicidad que pasaba frente a el, se detuvo y observó unas pocas monedas en la gorra. Sin pedirle permiso tomo el cartel, lo dio vuelta, tomo una tiza y escribió otro anuncio.
Volvió a poner el pedazo de madera sobre los pies del ciego y se fue.
Por la tarde el creativo volvió a pasar frente al ciego que pedía limosna, su gorra estaba llena de billetes y monedas. El ciego reconoció sus pasos y le preguntó si había sido él el que rescribió su cartel y sobre todo... ¿qué había puesto?.
El publicista le contestó: "Nada que no sea tan cierto como tu anuncio, pero con otras palabras", sonrió y siguió su camino.
El ciego nunca lo supo, pero su nuevo cartel decía: "HOY ES PRIMAVERA... Y NO PUEDO VERLA".
¡Cambiemos de estrategia cuando no nos sale algo, y veremos que de esa manera puede que resulte!

Charles Schultz Philosophy...vey interesting!
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read traight through, and you'll get the point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners .
Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
Easier?
The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care .
Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.??

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia"
