Dear All,

This is 997th message for this month. Wonder if atleast 3 more people

would post , and whose the 1000th message of this month would be. But

we have only 5 hours left.

 

 

Here is a story that I found on the web about valuing each moment.

Enjoy your weekend.

========================================

 

One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful beach, with his fishing

pole propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast out into the

sparkling blue surf. He was enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun

and the prospect of catching a fish.

 

About that time, a businessman came walking down the beach, trying to

relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed the fisherman

sitting on the beach and decided to find out why this fisherman was

fishing instead of working harder to make a living for himself and

his family. "You aren't going to catch many fish that way," said the

businessman to the fisherman. "You should be working rather than

lying on the beach!"

 

The fisherman looked up at the businessman, smiled and replied, "And

what will my reward be?Well, you can get bigger nets and catch

more fish!" was the businessman's answer. "And then what will my

reward be?" asked the fisherman, still smiling. The businessman

replied, "You will make money and you'll be able to buy a boat, which

will then result in larger catches of fish!And then what will my

reward be?" asked the fisherman again. The businessman was beginning

to get a little irritated with the fisherman's questions. "You can

buy a bigger boat, and hire some people to work for you!" he said.

 

"And then what will my reward be?" repeated the fisherman. The

businessman was getting angry. "Don't you understand? You can build

up a fleet of fishing boats, sail all over the world, and let all

your employees catch fish for you!" Once again the fisherman asked,

"And then what will my reward be?" The businessman was red with rage

and shouted at the fisherman, "Don't you understand that you can

become so rich that you will never have to work for your living

again! You can spend all the rest of your days sitting on this beach,

looking at the sunset. You won't have a care in the world!"

 

The fisherman, still smiling, looked up and said, "And what do you

think I'm doing right now?"
