There was a man who made a living selling balloons at a fair. He had all colors 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 to him, buy a balloon and his sales would go up again. He continues the 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 color of the balloon, it is what is inside it that makes it go up."
The same thing applies to our lives. No matter the type of person we are, it is what is inside that counts.
