A fisherman was lying on a quiet beach, rod in the sand, line drifting in the blue water… completely relaxed.
A stressed-out businessman walked by, checked his watch, and frowned.
“You’re wasting time,” he said. “You should be working harder!”
The fisherman smiled. “Why?”
“So you can catch more fish!”
“And then?”
“Sell them, make money, buy a bigger boat!”
“And then?”
“Expand! Hire workers! Build a whole fleet!”
“And then?”
“Travel the world, make millions, become rich enough to retire!”
The fisherman nodded calmly. “And then?”
Now irritated, the businessman snapped,
“Then you can finally relax… sit on a beach… enjoy life with no worries!”
The fisherman leaned back, smiled, and said—
“So… what exactly do you think I’m doing right now?” 😏🌊
