He had balloons of many different colors, including red, yellow, blue
and green. Whenever business was slow, he would release a helium-
filled balloon into the air. When the children saw the balloon go up,
they all wanted one. The would come up to him, buy a balloon and
his sales would go up. All day, he continued to release a balloon
whenever the sales slowed down. One day, the balloon man felt
someone 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
color of the balloon, it is what`s inside that makes it go up."
The same principle applies to our lives. It`s what`s inside that
counts. And what`s inside of us that makes us go up is our
attitude. William James of Harvard University said,
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings
can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind."
