A wealthy factory owner saw to his horror a fisherman lying around lazily next to his boat smoking a pipe. ‘Why aren’t you fishing?’ asked the factory owner. ..
‘Because I have caught enough fish for today,’ said the fisherman. ‘Why don’t you catch a few more?’
‘What would I do with them?’
‘You could earn money,’ was the answer. ‘With which you could have an engine fixed to your boat to go further at sea and catch more fish.’ ‘Then you would earn enough to buy nylon nets. These would bring in more fish and more money. Soon you would have enough money to have two boats….maybe even an entire fleet.
Then you would be a rich man like me.’
‘What would I do then?’
‘You could really enjoy life then.’
‘And what do you think I’m doing now?’, replied the fisherman.
Stories containing wisdom,
have not been written to lecture, but to wake people up. Between the lines, in their spirit and atmosphere is a hidden insight, an insight which cannot really be communicated through language. While listening and reading, sometimes, almost unexpectedly, you come across a “lesson without words” and for a moment are roused from sleep.
