美文鉴赏
Once a fisherman was sitting under a tree near the beach. A rich man walked to him. He asked why the fisherman didn’t go out to fish, but just sat under the tree.
The man asked, “Why are you so relaxed? Don’t you need to work?”
The fisherman answered, “I caught enough fish for today.”
The man didn’t understand this. He asked, “Well, why don’t you go to catch more fish but spend time sitting under a tree?”
The fisherman answered, “Why would I want to catch more fish?”
“You could sell them, and make more money, and buy a bigger boat.” said the trader.
The fisherman asked again, “OK,but what would I do with a bigger boat?”
“You could go fishing in deeper water and catch more fish, and get more money. Then you could become a rich man like me. ”
“What would I do after that?”
The man said, “You could enjoy your life quietly. ”
Finally, the fisherman said, “What do you think I’m doing now?”
You don’t have to be rich to enjoy your life. Sometimes a simple and quiet life is more enjoyable than a rich and busy one. It’s important to enjoy quiet time in life and not worry too much about tomorrow.
