There was a balloon seller. All he earned was by selling balloons at a fair. He had balloons of various colours, including blue, yellow, green and red. Whenever his sales went down, he would release a helium-filled balloon into the air. When the children saw the balloon go up, they all wanted one. All day, he continued to do so when his sales went down. One day, he felt somebody tugging at his jacket. He turned around and a little boy asked “If you release a black balloon, would that also fly?” Moved by the boy’s concern, the man replied gently, “Son, it is not the colour of the balloon it is what is inside that makes it go up.” Isn’t this the same with our lives? That story just described how we have an outlook on our activities. An example of positive attitude was of David and Goliath. David thought that the giant was not too big to kill, but too big to miss, and just with stones, he did what seemed impossible.
Outlook?
An outlook is a person’s point of view or his/her attitude towards something. When we try to do something, we can either think that it will come out right or wrong. When we think that it will come out right, we are made to think that way throughout the process. Thinking this way is called a positive attitude. Children’s stories can be important for adults in some cases. So, here’s a story that tells that what is inside ourselves is important rather than our colours, as if we are balloons of various colours.
