The story of fishermen and businessmen: What is a person's life pursuing?

An American businessman sat at a pier in a fishing village by the Mexican ocean and watched a Mexican fisherman draw a boat to the shore. There were several big yellow fin catfish on the boat. The American merchant asked the fisherman how long it would take to catch so many? The Mexican fisherman said that he just caught it in a short time. The Americans asked, why don't you wait a little longer and catch more fish? The Mexican fisherman thinks that these fish are enough for my family's life!

The Americans asked: So what are you doing for so much time in a day? The Mexican fisherman explained: Me? I wake up naturally every day, capture a few fish out of the sea, come back to play with the children, take a nap with my wife, shake to the village at dusk to have a drink, and play a guitar with the boys, my days are full and busy!

The Americans did not agree. They gave him an idea. He said: I am a Master of Business Administration at Harvard University, but I can help you! You should spend more time Capturing fish every day. Then you will have the money to buy a larger ship and more fishing boats. Then you can have a fishing fleet. Then you can open a can factory by yourself. In this way, you can control the entire production, processing, and marketing. Then you can leave this fishing village, move to Mexico City, then to Los Angeles, and finally to New York. Run your expanding business there.

The Mexican fisherman asked: How long does it take? The Americans replied: 15 to 20 years.

What then?

The American people smiled and said, "You can become an emperor at home! As soon as the time comes, you can announce the stock market and sell your company's shares to the investors. You will try again later! You can earn hundreds of millions of dollars!

What then?

The Americans said: You can retire at that time! You can move to a fishing village by the sea. Every day, I wake up and go out to sea to catch a few fish, play with the children, and take a nap with my wife. At dusk, I shake to the village to have a drink and play the guitar with my friends!

The Mexican fisherman wondered: Isn't that what I want to do now?

What is a person's life pursuing?

What do you pursue and what is the value of life. Every corner of the world is always a heavy topic. But the eternal truth is that happiness is the most meaningful. Perhaps we may have a little bit of experience in the pursuit of wealth in our life journey.

The first time I read this story was when I was a student, who was very short-sighted and angry without looking forward. Such a person did not have lofty ideals, lacked lofty aspirations, and was comfortable with the status quo, satisfied with the immediate ease of life, there is no fighting spirit, just know that day after day, year after year to repeat a simple life, such people live without value, no significance. I agree with the ambition of businessmen.

The second re-reading of this story is now in middle age. It is admirable for businessmen to work hard. However, if a person has been struggling and striving for the whole life, let alone whether the goal can be achieved, but it depends on the people in reality, in the process of pursuing the goal, we often lose ourselves. The goal becomes desire, and there is no end to desire. As a result, merchants are not afraid of making more money. 100,000 million or 80 thousand million poor households are not rich, and they are still 100,000 steps away from the richest man in the world ...... To be an official, to be promoted to the level of science, to be promoted to the level of science, and to be re-elected to the Ministry, the president will be happy after being re-elected ...... In "struggle", there are no people, no family, no self. Many people finally regret the life of a fisherman "...... In the middle of the year, I re-read the story and thought the fisherman was more like a philosopher.

But life is not a story. Life is real, and reality is cruel. The premise of a fisherman's life is that "fish can be caught every day to maintain his livelihood". Only when fish are caught every day can he "play with the children, take a nap with his wife, and drink wine with friends in the village every night, sing and sing. To live a happy and fulfilling life ." But in reality, the fish are not waiting for you in the sea, so that you can prey on them on time every day. In real life, the fish are erratic. Today there are fish, and tomorrow there may be no shrimps. Therefore, you cannot expect that the sky will give you ready-made fish and shrimps. If you want to catch fish every day, you have to rely on your own continuous efforts. In this competitive society and age, sometimes we have to compete with others for fish and shrimp ......

After the ups and downs of life, I once again read the story of fisherman and merchant, and I felt a lot different. In real society, the fisherman's realism is not necessarily realistic, and a comfortable life will not be waiting for you. If you want to live a good life, you should constantly work hard; struggle based on the merchant's idealistic ideology. In order to pursue the ideal life and escape from reality, life will lose its meaning. A person must have a lofty life goal, a strong will to achieve this goal, a brave and enterprising self-confidence, a spirit of hard work, and a strong will to never give up without reaching the goal, the ultimate goal of hard work and hard work is to enjoy your life while striving and fighting, so that your life will be happy and your family will be happy, your life will be happy and full.

We do not do fishermen who do not seek progress, or businessmen who do not understand life. If you are a person who can face the reality, stay ahead, and enjoy a happy life, you will always feel full, happy, and happy, and keep forging ahead for a happy life!
