"Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid." Proverbs 12:1 Only by much searching and mining are gold and diamonds obtained. "Our mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will bring forth." I found that when you start thinking and saying what you really want then your mind automatically shifts and pulls you in that direction. The power of ambition turns eager desires into reality, giving you the inner drive to increase your salary ... achieve financial security ... lead a happier, more fulfilling life ... and enrich the lives of everyone around you. If you want something that you never had be prepared to do something that you never did, Yes thats it exactly. One of the points of this story is that cause and effect is a universal law that governs everything in our lives. This story has been told thousands of times with many variations. The Fisherman returns home in his pirogue and is met by a foreign expert serving in this developing country. The expert asks the fisherman why he is back so early. He replies that he could have stayed out longer but that he had caught enough to care for his family. "And now, what do you do with all your time anyway?" the expert asks. The fisherman responds: "Well, i do a little fishing. I play with my children. We all have a siesta when it gets hot. In the evening, we have supper together. Later, i get together with my friends for some music, and so on. The expert interrupts: "Look, I have the New University For The 21st Century Entrepreneur and i have studied these matters. I want to help you. You should stay out fishing longer. You would earn more money and soon be able to purchase a bigger boat than this pirogue. With a bigger boat, you would earn still more and soon be able to build up a fleet of trawlers." "And then?" the fisherman inquires. "Then, instead of selling fish through a middleman, you could negotiate directly with the factory or even start your own fish-processing plant. You would be able to leave your village and move to Cotonou, or Paris, Or New York and run the whole thing from there. You could even consider putting your business on the stock market and earn millions." "How long would that all take?" the fisherman asks. "Perhaps 3-5 Years," the expert answers. "And then?" the fisherman continues. "Thats when life gets interesting," the expert explains. "Then you could retire. You could move away from the hustle and bustle of it all to some remote village." "And what then?" asks the fisherman. "Then you have time to do a little fishing, play with your children, have a siesta when it gets hot, have supper with the family, and get together with friends for some music, and so on." Moral of the story is "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and feed him for life!"
