📢 An investor is walking down the street and sees a fisherman who has caught a huge fish. The investor approaches and says:
— Hey, you have such a fish! Why don't you sell it?
The fisherman shrugs:
— Why? It's enough for my dinner.
— But you could sell this one, — insists the investor, — buy a couple more boats, hire people, catch more fish, build a processing factory, enter the international market... And in a couple of years, you could be a billionaire!
The fisherman, without taking his eyes off his fishing rod, asks:
— And then what?
The investor, excitedly:
— Then? Then you can relax, sit by the shore, fish for your enjoyment, and not worry about anything!
The fisherman thoughtfully looks at his fishing rod:
— And what do you think I'm doing right now?
The meaning of the joke: Sometimes in the pursuit of endless growth and profit, we forget that the true goal is happiness, peace, and the ability to enjoy life. For some, this has already been achieved, while for others, the path to this becomes an end in itself, which does not lead to the desired result.
