There was a man who made a living selling balloons at a fair. He had balloons of all colors, 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 increase. He continued this process throughout the 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 color of the balloon; it is what is inside that makes it go up."
The same applies to our lives. It is what is inside that counts. The thing inside us that makes us rise is our attitude. Have you ever wondered why some individuals, organizations, or countries are more successful than others? It is no secret. These people simply think and act more effectively. They have learned to do so by investing in the most valuable asset—people. I believe that the success of an individual, organization, or country depends on the quality of their people.
