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?"
Moral of the story: What do you want in your life? What
are your expectations?
