Once
a fisherman was sitting near seashore, under the shadow of a tree
smoking his beedi. Suddenly a rich businessman passing by approached him
and enquired as to why he was sitting under a tree smoking and not
working. To this the poor fisherman replied that he had caught enough
fishes for the day.
Hearing this the rich man got angry and said: Why don’t you catch more fishes instead of sitting in shadow wasting your time?
Fisherman asked: What would I do by catching more fishes? Businessman: You could catch more fishes, sell them and earn more money, and buy a bigger boat. Fisherman: What would I do then? Businessman: You could go fishing in deep waters and catch even more fishes and earn even more money. Fisherman: What would I do then? Businessman: You could buy many boats and employ many people to work for you and earn even more money. Fisherman: What would I do then? Businessman: You could become a rich businessman like me. Fisherman: What would I do then? Businessman: You could then enjoy your life peacefully. Fisherman: What do you think I’m doing right now?
MORAL
– You don’t need to wait for tomorrow to be happy and enjoy your life.
You don’t even need to be more rich, more powerful to enjoy life. LIFE
is at this moment, enjoy it fully.
As some great men have said “My riches consist not in extent of my possessions but in the fewness of my wants”.

"A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and
were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered.
Carve your name on hearts, not on marble."
