There was a man who made aliving selling balloons at a fair. He had all colours of balloons, including red, yellow, blue and green. Whenever business was slow, he would release a helium-filled balloon into the air and when the children saw it go up, they all wanted to buy one. They would come up to him, buy a balloon,and his sales would go up again.
He continued this process all day. One day, he felt someone tugging at his jacket. He turned around and saw a little boy who asked, "If you release a black balloon, would that also fly?" Moved by the boy's concern, the man replied with empathy. "Son, it is not the colour of the balloon, it is what is inside that makes it go up."
The same thing applies to our lives, it is what is inside that counts. The thing inside of us that makes us go up is our attitude.
Take from Shiv Khera's "How To Win."
