There was once a businessman on a vacation, who was sitting by the beach, near the sea shore, of a small village.
As he sat, he saw a fisherman rowing a small boat towards the shore having caught quite few big fish.
The businessman was impressed and asked the fisherman,
“How long does it take you to catch so many fish?”
The fisherman replied,
“Oh, just a short while.”
“Then why don’t you stay longer at sea and catch even more?”
The businessman asked astonished.
“This is enough to feed my whole family,”
the fisherman replied.
The businessman then asked,
“So, what do you do for the rest of the day?”
The fisherman replied,
“Well,
I usually wake up early in the morning,
go out to sea and catch a few fish,
then go back and play with my kids.
In the afternoon, I take a nap with my wife,
and in the evening, I join my buddies in the village for a drink, we play guitar, sing and dance throughout the night.”
The businessman offered a suggestion to the fisherman.
“I am a PhD in Business Management.
I could help you to become a more successful person.
From now on, you should spend more time at sea and try to catch as many fish as possible.
When you have saved enough money, you could buy a bigger boat and catch even more fish.
Soon you will be able to afford to buy more boats, set up your own company, your own production plant for canned food and distribution network.
By then, you will have moved out of this village to a big city, where you can set up Head Quarter to manage your other branches.”
The fisherman asked,
“And after that?”
The businessman laughed,
“After that, you can live like a king in your own house, and when the time is right, you can go public and float your shares in the Stock Exchange, and you will be rich.”
The fisherman asked,
“And after that?”
The businessman said,
“After that, you can finally retire,
you can move to a house by the fishing village,
wake up early in the morning,
catch a few fish, then return home to play with kids,
have a nice afternoon nap with your wife,
and when evening comes, you can join your buddies for a drink, play the guitar, sing and dance throughout the night!”
The fisherman was puzzled,
“Isn’t that what I am doing now?”
moral of the story is:
Each one must realise the objective of a happy life,
as each one has a different happiness,
and be wise to achieve happiness with minimal effort.
To understand that different people have different happiness,
which they achieve by different ways,
as they have different strengths and skills.
To respect others happiness.
As every one is different.
