Enjoy the game... Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them

It is worth spending time in reading it and charging yourself !!!

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish। But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades। So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste.

To solve this problem, fishing 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 and they did not like 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, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.

So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan? If you were consulting the fish industry, what would you recommend?

As soon as you reach your goals, such as finding a wonderful mate, starting a successful company, paying off your debts or whatever, you might lose your passion। You don't need to work so hard so you relax। You experience the same problem as lottery winners who waste their money, wealthy heirs who never grow up and bored homemakers who get addicted to prescription drugs।

Like the Japanese fish problem, the best solution is simple। It was observed by L. Ron Hubbard in the early 1950's.

"Man thrives, oddly enough, only in the presence of a challenging environment."- L. Ron Hubbard
The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more you enjoy a good problem. If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are steadily conquering those challenges, you are happy. You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. You have fun. You are alive!

To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state। The fish are challenged.

Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them। Beat the heck out of them। Enjoy the game। If your challenges are too large or too numerous, do not give up। Failing makes you tired। Instead, reorganize। Find more determination, more knowledge, more help। If you have met your goals, set some bigger goals.

Once you meet your personal or family needs, move onto goals for your group, the society, even mankind.

Don't create success and lie in it. You have resources, skills and abilities to make a difference.

Put a shark in your tan. If you have met your goals, set some bigger goals. Once you meet your personal or family needs, move onto goals for your group, the society, even mankind. Don't create success and lie in it.

You have resources, skills and abilities to make a difference. Put a shark in your tank and see how far you can really go!

Management Lessons not taught in Business School.

Lession one:

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing all

Day long?'

The crow answered: 'Sure, why not.' So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared,

jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Management Lesson: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson Number Two:

A turkey was chatting with a bull.

'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,

' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.

'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull.

'They're packed with nutrients.' The turkey pecked at a lump of Dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree, promptly spotted him.

Management Lesson: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Lesson Number Three:

When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be Boss.

The brain said, 'I should be Boss because I control the whole body’s responses and functions.

'The feet said, 'We should be Boss as we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go.'

The hands said, 'We should be the Boss because we do all the work and earn all the money.'

And so it went on and on with the heart, the lungs and the eyes until finally the asshole spoke up.

All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss. So the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work. Within a short time the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain fevered. Eventually they all decided that the asshole should be the Boss, so the motion was passed.

All the other parts did all the work while the Boss just sat and passed out the shit!

Management Lesson: You don't need brains to be a Boss - any asshole will do.

Lesson Number Four:

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold; the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung and promptly dug him out and ate him!

Management Lessons: 1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.

3) And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut!
