[b]A Fisherman Story
One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful beach, with his
fishing pole propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast out
into the sparkling blue surf. He was enjoying the warmth of the
afternoon sun and the prospect of catching a fish.
About that time, a businessman came walking down the beach, trying
to relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed the
fisherman sitting on the beach and decided to find out why this
fisherman was fishing instead of working harder to make a living
for himself and his family. "You aren't going to catch many fish
that way," said the businessman to the fisherman. "You should be
working rather than lying on the beach!"
The fisherman looked up at the businessman, smiled and replied,
"And what will my reward be?" "Well, you can get bigger nets and
catch more fish!" was the businessman's answer. "And then what will
my reward be?" asked the fisherman, still smiling. The businessman
replied, "You will make money and you'll be able to buy a boat,
which will then result in larger catches of fish!" "And then what
will my reward be?" asked the fisherman again. The businessman was
beginning to get a little irritated with the fisherman's questions.
"You can buy a bigger boat, and hire some people to work for you!"
he said.
"And then what will my reward be?" repeated the fisherman. The
businessman was getting angry. "Don't you understand? You can build
up a fleet of fishing boats, sail all over the world, and let all
your employees catch fish for you!" Once again the fisherman asked,
"And then what will my reward be?" The businessman was red with
rage and shouted at the fisherman, "Don't you understand that you
can become so rich that you will never have to work for your living
again! You can spend all the rest of your days sitting on this
beach, looking at the sunset. You won't have a care in the
world!"
The fisherman, still smiling, looked up and said, "And what do you
think I'm doing right now?"
Moral of the story: What do you want in your life? What are your
expectations?
