A fisherman was sitting near the seashore, relaxing under the shadow of a tree.
Suddenly a rich businessman approached him and angrily inquired: Why don’t you catch more fish instead of just sitting there?
The fisherman asked: What would I do by catching more fish?
Businessman: You could sell them, earn more money, and buy a bigger boat.
Fisherman: What would I do then?
Businessman: You could go fishing in deeper waters, 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 retire and enjoy your life in peace.
Fisherman: What do you think I’m doing right now?
How do you measure success in life?
Best wishes,
James
