change strategy
Once upon a time there was a blind man begging on a busy street, with a cap at his feet and a sign on which, written in white chalk, read: “PLEASE HELP ME, I AM BLIND.”
A passing ad creative stopped and looked at a few coins in the cap. Without asking her permission, he took the poster, turned it over, took a piece of chalk, and wrote another ad. He put the piece of wood back on the blind man’s feet and left.
In the afternoon the creative once again passed in front of the blind man who was begging for alms. Now his cap was full of bills and coins.
The blind man, recognizing his footsteps, asked him if he had been the one who had rewritten his poster and, above all, what was it that he had written there.
The publicist replied: – “Nothing that is not as true as your ad, but with other words.” I wrote “WE’RE IN SPRING, AND… I CAN’T SEE HER”
The blind man thanked the publicist for his help and he smiled as he walked away. He also thanked God that this creative person passed by, who had helped him increase his income.
Moral: Change your strategy when something doesn’t work out for you, instead of regretting it. So you will see that it may turn out better that way. And don’t forget to ask God for help and thank him very much for his constant listening.
