Your post remind...I agree wholeheartedly with this. Your post reminds me of the tale about the fisherman and the capitalist. In a nutshell..<br /><br />The humble fisherman was sitting down by his cottage, whistling to himself and wondering how he was going to flavour his catch for dinner that night. <br />He was visited unexpectedly by a businessman trying to persuade him to change to fishing nets. He tells the fisherman he can catch hundreds of fish instead of just enough for himself, and after several years he would be a very rich man. "Imagine what you can do with all that money!" he says, "You will need to move to the city, hire a team and work over the weekends to get ahead. But it will all pay off, of course. After 10 or so years, you could retire, live in a quite little place by the lake an spend your days fishing for leisure! Imagine that!". The fisherman looked around bewildered, wondering why ever he would need hundreds of fish to feed his family of three. He already had everything he needed!<br /><br />There is more to the story than this, but the message is clear- to appreciate what you have, and remember that more wealth and material possessions will not bring real and lasting happiness to your life.<br /><br />http://greeneyedgirlscout.blogspot.com/Green Eyed Girl Scouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04936563973263068059noreply@blogger.com
