There is always a better way

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet.  He held up a sign board which said I AM BLIND, PLEASE HELP

There were only few coins in the hat.  A man was walking by, took the sign board and wrote something and put it back; after that the hat began to fill up with more coins, i.e. lot more people were giving money to blind boy.

Following day, the boy recognised the man who made changes in his sign board by his footsteps sound and asked him "What did you write?"

The man replied "I wrote only the truth, but said in different way" what he had written was TODAY IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND I CANNOT SEE IT

Both meant the same, but the first one simply told the boy was blind while the second meant, while other people was able to enjoy the beauty of the day, the boy couldn't enjoy because he was blind.
