Enjoy the Coffee Instade

"A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.

Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously

went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.

Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Some times, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to

enjoy the coffee in it."

Don't let the cups drive you... Enjoy the coffee instead!

For the fish that don't move

In the East Asian sea, the small island Japan had enormous god gifted coast line filled with variety of sea life. This had been a proven natural resource that supports Fishing, a good business at coastal lines.

In those early days things were very easy for the fishers. They go out for fishing across the coast and can get deliberately good sea food with quite of fewer efforts. But things when changed as demand going up against vanishing sea resources.

Fishers found themselves going further and further in deep sea to find fish. But as fishers went in the deep sea the demand for the sea food began to descend. The buyers were increasingly unhappy about fishes from deep sea because of its unpleasant test.

Fishers tried to find problem with these fishes. And realized they need some refrigeration system to keep captured fishes fresh. So they installed good refrigeration system on boat itself.

Fishers though there problems are over now, but customers were still unhappy. The refrigeration system wasn’t good enough to stop deterioration of test.

Fishers replaced refrigeration with bigger fish tanks to keep the fishes alive till reach to its buyer.

Customers did buy those newly presented alive fishes at fish markets. But they still find it’s test different than the fishes from nearer coasts. Fishers couldn’t think of any simple reason why the fish from the deep sea were not that testy as fish from coastal area. They were losing their customers. With some study they found that a moving fish remains in relatively good health than when stationary in fish the tank, hence tests good.

Fishers now need something that can keep fishes moving in the tank. Surprisingly they didn’t use any technological solution for this problem. They simply put a small Shark in every tank of captured fishes. The fishes were moving by natural instinct.

The small Shark was keeping the fishes healthy and delightful for its buyers, and Fishers begin to gain trust of their customers.

This delightful end has an edge to observe, fishes that don’t move don’t test good. Fish needs shark in the tank to keep it healthy. Are we also trapped in the tank? If true then do we need a shark?
