Fisherman Word!!!

Two years ago, i when for a holidays in an island. In a good evening, i when with my wife to the beach to watch the sunsets. Beside the beach i saw another couple, who is busy transferring the fish from their boat to the land. By curious i walk to them and say hi to them.

Me: Hi, nice catch today?
Fisherman: Ya, consider ok, normal day we can even get double of this.
Me: WOW, here at least you have 100kg, if double of this mean you can get 200kg.
Fisherman: Ya (returning a smile to me)
Me: It should give you all a good income.
Fisherman: Consider ok, around 100 bucks to 200 bucks per day.
Me: What? Only 100 bucks? So little? It is not worth then.
Fisherman: With that income, we can have a good life style here.

I was thinking, maybe he is correct in a small village, what else can they spend? Only 3 meal per days and some children expenses. 2nd days, i meet them again sitting below a coconut tree with their 3 children, having some meal while watching the sunsets.

Me: Hi, today no fishing?
Fisherman: Nope, the raining in the morning cause us not able to fish today.
Me: Have you ever think, to earn more income?
Fisherman: How?
Me: Maybe you can process the fish and make it into can food, then export them to others places.
Fisherman: It is difficult, and why did i need to?
Me: Difficult is difficult, but you can enjoy your life better.
Fisherman: You mean enjoying like sleeping under a coconut tree watching the sunsets with the family?
Me: Ya.
Fisherman: I not need to work so hard to enjoy the life like that, cause i am enjoying now. Each years 365 days. While if i go to process the fish and make it into can food, and export them. I might not able to enjoy my life.

That simple life philosophy open up my mind, rich doesn't mean you enjoy your life, but poor doesn't mean they don't enjoy. Sometime a big circle doesn't bring you to the thing that you want. It will bring you back to your origin.

It is always important to know what you want. Working 24 hours a days and 7 days per week also can make you rich, but is this what you want? Sacrifice your nice car and big house now, buy them later, proceed with buying few apartment for rental will also make you more rich after few years.

It is always an art of delay your desire and get rich, is not hardworking and get rich.
