WHO IS WHO IS HAPPIER???HAPPIER???

Once a fisherman was sitting nearseashore, under the shadow of

a tree smoking his cigarette.

Suddenly a rich businessman passingby approached him and enquired asto why he was sitting under a tree

smoking and not working. To this thepoor fisherman replied that he had

caught enough fishes for the day.

The businessman then asked, but what do you do with the rest of your time? Thefisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a nap with

my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my friends; I have a full and busy life." 

Hearing this the rich mangot angry and said, “Why

don’t you catch more fishes instead of sitting in shadow wasting your

time?” Fisherman asked, “What would I do by

catching more fishes?”

Businessman: You could catch more fishes, sell them and 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 fishes 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: "Then you would retire. Move to a

small coastal fishing villagewhere you would sleep late,fish a little. You could then enjoy your life peacefully."

"Isn't that "Isn't that what I'mwhat I'mdoingdoing right now?" right now?"

You don’t even need to be more rich, more powerful to enjoy life. LIFE is at this moment, enjoy it fully.

Moral # 1 : You don’t need to wait for tomorrow to be happy and enjoy your life.

Moral # 2 : One should be satisfied with what one has.If someone is not satisfied one should look at those people who have nothingor the children who live on the streets who know that they have a break futurebut that does not stop them from enjoying themselves in the rains!!!!!!

Not money, not assets, not things, not stuff. Friends, family, relationships. We neglect and even destroy important relationships and we hurt people we love because of our pride, our selfishness and our need to be right. We tell ourselves we’re right and we hurt others, we paralyze ourselves emotionally, we kill relationships, we make ourselves sick and in all of it, there are no positives to be found!

Moral # 3 : People matter the most.

Know what really matters in life, and you may find that it is already much closer thanyou think. What do your answers tell you about your real priorities in life?

Moral # 4 : If you could plan it, how would you spend your lastday on Earth?

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

my wantsmy wants”.”.
