There was
       a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She
       hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always
       there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see
       the world, I will marry you.'
      
       One day,
       someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages
       came off, she was able to see everything, including her
       boyfriend.
 
      He asked
       her,' Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The
       girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The
       sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected
       that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life
       led her to refuse to marry him.
 
      Her
       boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her
       saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before
       they were yours, they were mine.'
 
       This is
       how the human brain often works when our status changes.
       Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who
       was always by their side in the most painful situations.
 
       Life Is a
       Gift
 
       Today
       before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't
       speak..
 
 
       Before
       you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone
       who has nothing to eat.
 
       Before
       you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone
       who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
 
 
       Today
       before you complain about life - Think of someone who went
       too early to heaven.
 
 
       Before
       whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who
       walks the same distance with their feet.
 
      And when
       you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the
       unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your
       job.
 
 
       And when
       depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on
       your face and think: you're alive and still
       around.
