Before I get into the heart of this post, I wanted to provide you with a compelling reason for reading this article. I mean, Why should you listen to what I have to say? Why I am telling this story? Why does this matter to you?

Because by listening to what I have to say on the importance of learning how to learn, I hope you acquire the confidence to do it yourself.

“Great ambition and conquest without contribution is without significance; what will your contribution be?” – quoted from the film “The Emperor’s Club”.

These feelings of the fear of change prevent changes in life. I once heard the following, “Change is kind of like a band-aid.  It hurts like hell when you pull it off but once it’s off it feels great.” I couldn’t have said it better myself.

This is an inspirational story on having a full life by living life simple. This story reminds us that we all must put things into perspective and find the little joys that life offers us daily.  We must remember to enjoy the moment and not wait until we have built up our fortunes and successes before we take time to enjoy life.

Money does not buy happiness, and being poor does not allow you to help others. We must strike a balance between ambition and meaning.

Enjoy the story and please pass it on to someone you think may benefit using your favorite service found at the end of this article.

Mexican Fishing Story – Author Unknown

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.

“Not very long,” answered the Mexican.

“But then, why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?” asked the American.

The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.

The American asked, “But what do you do with the rest of your time?” Continue reading Have We Been Doing it All Wrong? →
