World is a very different place now. Everybody is tired of something. Bosses shout at their employees. Employees take it all in for 5 days then take all out for weekend and process repeats itself. Some people more devoted then others. Indulging in their work for 5 working days. Forgetting about their personal lives. It just doesnt feel right. It should be other way around.
CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF
Its one of those says, where you feel like you have got the future in your hands now. And you keep thinking you have to do something before its too late. All your dreams are in front of your eyes and you feel that it has to happen now. It is now or never. But the fact is its never that simple. Once you relly think about it you see the flaws. You see your insecurities and wonder if its worth it or you are just doing it so that other people might feel you superior. And if its really you wanted or its something society has inflicted on you. On the moments like these, you need to think through it from the very start. Remember whats best does not necessarily be good for you. But then again, its now or never. But the chances you don’t take you miss it 100%. So, eventually the mind says go for it, its better to try, than regret it. You should do what makes you happy. It does not matter whats others think. You need to be satisfied only with yourself. You do need not anyone’s approval. The key to your happiness should always be in your pocket.
Be more with less
This story always gets me.
This story is my inspiration to slow down, reassess, and get real about how I want to live life.
An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.
The Mexican replied, “only a little while. The American then asked why didn’t he stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs. The American then asked, “but what do you do with the rest of your time?”
The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siestas with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine, and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life.” The American scoffed, “I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually New York City, where you will run your expanding enterprise.”
The Mexican fisherman asked, “But, how long will this all take?”
To which the American replied, “15 – 20 years.”
“But what then?” Asked the Mexican.
The American laughed and said, “That’s the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions!”
“Millions – then what?”
The American said, “Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siestas with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”
