The Businessman and The Fisherman
There was once an American businessman who was sitting by the beach in a small Mexican village. As he sat, he saw a Mexican fisherman rowing a small boat towards the shore and noticed that the fisherman has caught quite a number of big fishes that is known to be a delicacy. The American was really impressed and ask the fisherman,"How long does it take you to catch so many fishes? "
The fisherman reply; Oh, just a short while."
"Then why don't you stay longer at sea and you could catch even more ?
The businessman was astonished.The fisherman simply does not agree, "This is enough to feed my whole family?" he says.
The businessman then asked: " So, what do you do for the rest of the day then? "
The fisherman reply; "Well, I usually wake up early in the morning, go out to sea and catch a few fishes, then I would go back and play with my kids. In the afternoon, I will take a nap with my wife, and evening comes, I will join my buddies in the village for a drink, we played guitar, sing and dance throughout the night. My day was ever so complete and carefree.?"
The businessman does not agree with his way of life and offered a suggestion to the fisherman."I am a PhD holder graduated from Harvard University, specialises in business management. I could help you to become a more successful person.
From now on, you have to spend more time at sea and try to catch as many fishes as possible. And when you have save enough money, you could buy a bigger boat and catch even more fishes. As you go on, you will be able to afford to buy more boats, recruit more fishermen and lead a team of your own. Soon you will be able to set-up your own company, your very own production plant for canned food and do direct selling to your distributors. At that time, you will have moved out of this village and to Mexico city, and then expand your operation to LA, and finally to New York city, where you can set-up your HQ to manage all your other branches."
the fisherman asks, "So, how long would that take?" The businessman reply: "About 15 to 20 years"
The fisherman continued, "And after that?"
The businessman laugh heartily, " After that, you can live like a king in your own house, and when the time is right, you can go public and float your shares in the Stock Exchange, by then you will be rich, your income will be coming in by the millions!! "
The fisherman ask, " And after that? "
The businessman says " After that, you can finally retire, you can move to a house by the fishing village, wake up early in the morning and catch a few fishes, then return home to play with the kids,have a nice afternoon nap with your wife, and when evening comes, you can join your buddies for a drink, play the guitar, sing and dance throughout the night!! " the fisherman was puzzled, " Isn't that what I am doing now?? "So, what does one really hope to achieve in life, do we really need to work so hard in life?
What do you hope to accomplish in the end? ...

I went to watch 'Charlie and The Chocolate Factory' the other day. Havn't i watched such an entertaining movie for ages. 10 reasons why you will love it.
1. I say its suitable for people of all ages.
2. Its OST is better than Rui En's singing on tv the whole day.
3. There's so much more to just the storyline. It serves as a learning lesson for all the kids out there to love and cherish your family.
4. There's these groups of little ppl in the movie known as
5. It's funny. Sure to make you laugh..
6. Helps to release stress so much that you'll forgot all about it during the movie. But when the lights come on again, too bad ;p
7. So far nobody i know said the the movie sux!! All the writeups about the movie gave 5 thumbs up.
8. There's this cottage house slanting at an angle of 45 degrees and never falls. So for architectural students, you can all go do a case study on the building.
9. I like it so much i dun mind going for a second time..
10. Listen to the cute sound in the background.. You'll love it..!!
There you have. Go watch it..!!

Have been very busy lately..
With lots of things going on in my mind and the current new workload, i can say i'm almost into a state of depression. And a lot of sad things been going on in my life recently too!!
Things start breaking down n life starts crumbling down after that. It's a very sad thing to say, i know. Things at the new workplace isn't like wat it used to be. A total new enviroment + taking over someone's shit is the worst, esp when all the drawings are in a MESS..!! *i'm not talking about you tiff* Then again, had been sick for the whole week, but now feeling much better liao. It's been a lousy week. *been trying to sneeze for the past 15min or so, but it simply won't nudge* And my fish tank suddenly starts to leak. So many things happening within a single week!!
Hope that as the 'weekdays' passes and goes, it will take away all my troubles and i welcome the weekend with arms wide open. Anyone has any idea how to make me sneeze??
