Enjoy Your Life Every Moment

Once a fisherman was sitting near seashore, under the shadow of a tree smoking his beedi. Suddenly a rich businessman passing by approached him and enquired as to why he was sitting under a tree smoking and not working. To this the poor fisherman replied that he had caught enough fishes for the day.

Hearing this, the rich man got angry and said: “Why don’t you catch more fishes instead of sitting in the shadow wasting your time?”

Fisherman asked: “What would I do by catching more fishes?”

Businessman: “You could catch more fishes, sell them and earn more money, and buy a bigger boat.”

Fisherman: “What would I do then?”

Businessman: “You could go fishing in deep waters and catch even more fishes and earn even more money.”

Fisherman: “What would I do then?”

Businessman: “You could buy many boats and employ many people to work for you and earn even more money.”

Fisherman: “What would I do then?”

Businessman: “You could become a rich businessman like me.”

Fisherman: “What would I do then?”

Businessman: “You could then enjoy your life peacefully.”

Fisherman: “What do you think I’m doing right now?”


MORAL – You don’t need to wait for tomorrow to be happy and enjoy your life. You don’t even need to be more rich, more powerful to enjoy life. LIFE is at this moment, enjoy it fully.

As some great men have said “My riches consist not in extent of my possessions but in the fewness of my wants”.

A smile


A smile costs nothing, but gives much.

It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give.

It takes a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor, but that he can be made rich by it.

A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship.

It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature’s best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone, until it is given away.

Some people are too tired to give you a smile; Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.
