Finding out a Contented Man

Once there was a rich industrialist. He possessed an unsatisfied thirst for wealth. One day he was sitting unrest on a bench on the bank of river. He was thinking about the ways how to enhance his wealth.

He saw fisherman sitting lazily beside his boat.

"Why aren't you out there fishing?" the Industrialist asked.

"Because I've caught enough fish for today," said the fisherman.

"Why don't you catch more fish than you need?' the rich man again asked the man.
This time, the fisherman asked him- "What would I do with them?"

The rich man replied, "You could earn more money, and buy a better boat so you could go deeper and catch more fish. You could purchase nylon nets, catch even more fish, and make more money. Soon you'd have a fleet of boats and be rich like me."

The fisherman again asked, "Then what would I do?"

"You could sit down and enjoy life," said the industrialist.

"What do you think I'm doing now?" the fisherman replied as he looked placidly out to sea.

 

Moral : Be contented with what you have.
