Enjoy your life at every moment

Enjoy your life at every moment

seashore, under the shadow of a
tree smoking his beedi. Suddenly a
rich businessman passing by
approached him and enquired as to
why he was sitting under a tree
smoking and not working. To this
the poor fisherman replied that he
had caught enough fishes for the
day.

Hearing this the rich man got 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: You could then enjoy
your life peacefully.

Fisherman: What do you think I’m
doing right now?

MORAL – You don’t need to wait
for tomorrow to be happy and
enjoy your life. You don’t even
need to be more rich, more
powerful to enjoy life. LIFE is at
this moment, enjoy it fully.

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