Fisherman

There was a fisherman was sitting near the seashore, under the shadow of a tree. Suddenly a rich businessman passing by approached him and inquired as to why he was sitting under a tree and not working. To this, the poor fisherman replied that he had caught enough fish for the day.

Hearing this, the rich man got angry and said: Why don’t you catch more fish instead of sitting in the shadow wasting your time?
Fisherman asked: What would I do by catching more fish?
Businessman: You could catch more fish, sell them, earn more money, and buy a bigger boat.
Fisherman: What would I do then?
Businessman: You could go fishing in deep waters and catch even more fish and earn even more money.
Fisherman: What would I do then?
Businessman: You could buy many boats and employ many people to work for you and earn even more money.
Fisherman: What would I do then?
Businessman: You could become a rich businessman like me.
Fisherman: What would I do then?
Businessman: You could then enjoy your life peacefully.
Fisherman: What do you think I’m doing right now?


MORAL – You don’t need to wait for tomorrow to be happy and enjoy your life. You don’t even need to be more rich, more powerful to enjoy life. LIFE is at this moment, enjoy it fully.

As some great men have said “My riches consist not in extent of my possessions but in the fewness of my wants”.
