Worth reading...this fish story

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish🐠 🐟🐠🐟

But the water close to Japan has not held many fish🐠🐟 for decades. 

So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. 

The further the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring the fish🐠🐟🐠🐟

If the return trip took more time, the fish 🐠🐟🐠🐟 were not fresh.

To solve this problem, fish 🐠🐟 companies installed freezers on their boats. 

They would catch the fish 🐠🐟 and freeze them at sea. 
Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. 

However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen fish🐠🐟 and they did not like the taste of frozen fish 🐠🐟

The frozen fish🐠🐟 brought a lower price. 

So, fishing companies installed fish tanks. 

They would catch the fish 🐠🐟 and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. 

After a little thrashing around, they were tired, dull, and lost their fresh-fish taste. 

The fishing industry faced an impending crisis! 

But today, they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan. 

How did they manage...? 

To keep the fish🐠🐟🐠 tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish🐠🐟🐠 in the tanks but with a small shark🐋🐋


The fish🐠🐟🐠are challenged and hence are constantly on the move. 

The challenge they face keeps them alive and fresh!

Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but most of the time tired and dull....? 

Basically in our lives, sharks 🐋🐋 are new challenges to keep us active. 

If you are steadily conquering
challenges, you are happy. 

Your challenges keep you energized. 

Don’t create Success and revel in it in a state of inertia.

You have the resources, skills and abilities to make a difference.  

Put a shark 🐋🐋 in your tank this year and see how far you can really go....Happy new Year 2016

This is a testimony written  by a doctor who worked in Africa.  One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive; as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator). We also had no special feeding facilities.  Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in.         Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst (rubber perishes easily in tropical climates).  “And it is our last hot water  bottle!” she exclaimed. As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk, so in Central A...

Increasing value

I found this so inspiring, so I thought I should forward it: Michael Jordan was born in 1963, in the slums of Brooklyn, New York. He had four  siblings and his father's earnings were not sufficient to provide for the whole family. He grew up in a poor neighbourhood. Exposed to mindless violence and heavy discrimination in the slums, he saw for himself only a hopeless future. His father saw in Michael, a lost soul and decided to do something. He gave Michael, who was 13 years old, a piece of used clothing and asked: "What do you think the value of this outfit would be?" Jordan replied,"Maybe one dollar." His father asked, "Can you sell it for two dollars? If you can sell it, it would mean that you are a big help to your family." Jordan nodded his head, "I'll try, but no guarantee that I'll be successful." Jordan carefully washed the cloth clean. Because they didn't have an iron, to smoothen the cloth, he l...
