THE FISHERMAN KNOWS BEST 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?"
