Businessman and Fisherman...and You

ermm....Really a good picture. i like it.. (^_^)

DO YOU KNOW WHAT...

We always pray and ask from Allah for everything,

but how many times we turn up to see Him when He calls us...

and He only calls us five times a day..

JUST FIVE TIMES a Day ONLY..!!!!!

What do you really hope to achieve in life? Here i justwant to elaborating that question with a story between so-called bright-minded businessman and long-lived happiness fisherman. Read this story and you may find that what you are always hoping to achieve, you may be already have it but is that all the thing that you want to achieve?

There was once an American businessman who was sitting by the beach in a small Mexican village. As he sat, he saw a Mexican fisherman rowing a small boat towards the shore and noticed that the fisherman has caught a quite number of big fishes that is known to be a delicacy.

The American was really impressed and asked the fisherman, "How long does it take you to catch so many fishes?"

The fisherman replies, "Oh, just a short while."

"Then why don't you stay longer at sea and you could catch even more? The businessman was astonished.

The fisherman simply does not agree, "This is enough to feed my whole family?" he says.

The businessman then asked: "So, what do you do for the rest of the day then?"

The fisherman replies; "Well, I usually wake up early in the morning, go out to sea and catch a few fishes, then I would go back and play with my kids. In the afternoon, I will take a nap with my wife, and evening comes, I will join my buddies in the village for a drink, we played guitar, sing and dance throughout the night. My day was ever so complete and carefree."

The businessman does not agree with his way of life and offered a suggestion to the fisherman.

"I am a PhD holder graduated from Harvard University, specialises in business management. I could help you to become a more successful person. From now on, you have to spend more time at sea and try to catch as many fishes as possible. And when you have save enough money, you could buy a bigger boat and catch even more fishes. As you go on, you will be able to afford to buy more boats, recruit more fishermen and lead a team of your own. Soon you will be able to set-up your own company, your very own production plant for canned food and do direct selling to your distributors.At that time, you will have moved out of this village and to Mexico city, and then expand your operation to LA, and finally to New York city, where you can set-up your HQ to manage all your other branches."

The fisherman asks, "So, how long would that take?”

The businessman reply: "About 15 to 20 years"

The fisherman continued, "And after that?"

The businessman laugh heartily, "After that, you can live like a king in your own house, and when the time is right, you can go public and float your shares in the Stock Exchange, by then you will be rich, your income will be coming in by the millions!!"

The fisherman ask, "And after that?"

The businessman says "After that, you can finally retire, you can move to a house by the fishing village, wake up early in the morning and catch a few fishes, then return home to play with the kids, have a nice afternoon nap with your wife, and when evening comes, you can join your buddies for a drink, play the guitar, sing and dance throughout the night!!”

The fisherman was puzzled, "Isn't that what I am doing now??"

So, what does one really hopes to achieve in life? First of all, we must think what we suppose to achieve? After that, planning how are we going to achieve our goal. If you realize our entries are relating to each other, because I see when we put something as a goal in our life, then we will strive to achieve it. That goal will determine the way you think, your perception, your paradigm and what you think of what is the purpose of life.

So, now think! Have you put the right goal in your life?

And again, what do you hope to accomplish in the end?

Wallahu ‘alam…
