01 - "Strategy"
They say, there was a blind man seated in a bench by the side of a mountain in spring, with a hat at his feet and a wood sign that, written with white chalk, said: “Please, help me. I am blind.”
An advertisement designer who passed by, stopped and saw just a few coins in the hat. Without asking for permission took the sign, turned it around, and with the chalk wrote another ad. He put again the sign by the side of the blind man and left.
In the afternoon the designer passed again next to the blind man asking for charity, his hat was filled with cash and coins. The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked him if it was him whom rewrite the sign and what had he written. The publicist answer him: “nothing more real than your own but, with other words.”
He smiled and left. The blind man never knew, but his new sign said: “Today is spring, and I can’t see it.”
Let’s change the strategy when something doesn’t goes right, and you will see it might end like that.

The translations may not be true to the original but the meaning is the same.... sorry if there are any mistakes... ☺
