fisherman

One day, a wealthy merchant came on vacation to an island that is still beautiful. When he felt bored, he strolled out of the villa where he was staying and down the beach. Seen On a rock wall someone is fishing, he approached while greeting,

Was fishing yes sir? ", While turning to the fisherman replied,

"Yes sir. Fish a fish or two for our family dinner ".

"Why only one or two fish packs? There are many fish in this sea, if you want a little longer sitting here, three-four fish can not you? "

Said the merchant who judged the fisherman as lazy. "What's the use for me?" Asked the fisherman in amazement.

"One or two eaten by the father's family, the rest can be sold. The results of fish sales can be saved to buy fishing equipment again so that the result of fishing can be more "he said patronizing.

"What's the use for me?" The fisherman asked more astonished.

"You see. With more savings, you can buy a net. When the catch of fish more and more, the money generated also more, the father could have bought a boat. From one boat can grow into a fishing fleet. Father can have his own company. One day father will become a rich fisherman ".

The simple fisherman gazed at the tourist in question and confusion. He thinks, the sea and the land have provided plenty of food for him and his family, why spend money? Why would he want to seize the riches of nature as much as possible for resale. Really does not make sense of the ideas offered to him.

Instead, feeling great about his business idea, the trader again assured, "If you follow my advice, you will be rich and can have whatever you want".

"What can I do if I have a lot of money?" Asked the fisherman.

"You can do the same thing as I do, every year can take a vacation, visit an island like this, sit on the beach wall while fishing".

"Well, that's not what every day I do sir, why wait for a new vacation fishing?", Said the fisherman shook his head even more astonished.

Hearing the fisherman's answer, the merchant seemed to be struck by his consciousness that to enjoy the fishing did not have to wait for the rich.

Friend…
There is a proverb saying, "do not measure clothes with other people's bodies." That is. The merchant may be right through his business analysis, he feels what the fisherman is doing is too simple, monotonous and useless. Dredge the wealth of nature for the sake of getting the money and wealth as much as possible is reasonable for him.

As for the fisherman, with a simple mind, able to accept whatever given by nature with satisfaction and sincerity. So life is lived every day with gratitude and happy.

Indeed, the size of "happy", each person must not be the same. All return to sincerity and the way we are grateful, whatever we have today ..
enjoy this life with gratitude and faith in steel, for life is a change to death.
