The story of the rich and the fisherman

This is a very old-fashioned story, but I still want to share it with you: one day, a rich man was on vacation at the seaside and met a fisherman lying on the beach basking in the sun. The rich man asked, why don't you go fishing in such fine weather? The fisherman said, I went fishing this morning, and now it's my rest time. The rich man said, but it's still early. You can go out and catch more fish ... the fisherman said, why should I catch so many fish? The rich man said, then you will have more money. You can travel everywhere and spend your holidays in the sunshine by the sea ... The fisherman said, but I am already in the sunshine. ...

Later, the story continued, with many different versions: some people wrote the story as an exhortation to the rich, telling those who pursue money to learn to combine work and rest, and the ultimate goal of life is not to lie on the beach and bask in the sun. Earned 1 100 million yuan to bask in the sun, earned 1 100 million yuan to bask in the same sun. Some people wrote the story as a critical version of the fisherman, saying that he was content with the status quo, did not strive for progress, and could only repeat his work day after day, losing more choices in life. ...

In my opinion, everyone has the right to choose. Some people have a great desire for money, status, honor and so on. Only by achieving these goals will they have a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. And some people have a general need for material life, and they are more eager to get a spiritual satisfaction. Only when the spirit reaches the goal will he feel that he is really satisfied. I think this is everyone's right to choose and there is nothing wrong with it. It is precisely because everyone's choice is different that there will be different social division of labor. Each group contributes its own strength in its own post, provides help for different groups and meets its own needs, thus forming a stable social order.

Whether you choose to be a rich man or a fisherman, you should follow your heart and ask yourself if this is the life I want. If the answer is yes, then what we can do is to persist for decades and think to the extreme. This is a kind of success. This success has nothing to do with wealth, nothing to do with honor, just follow the heart. Life is only a few decades. May each of us find our own inner answers, play our own roles and dominate our own lives. ...
