Success IN Life – Nigerian Ijaw Fishermen meet The Billionaire Banker A Short Story You need To Read About Your Life !

A Billionaire Banker  went to  Yenegoa and praised the local Ijaw Fishermen for the quality of their fish and then asked them?

How much time do you need to catch it? And the Ijaw Fishermen answered him in one voice:

“Not long”

The Ijaw Fishermen made it clear that their little catch would suffice their needs and the needs of their families!

He asked them: But what do you do in the rest of your time?

They answered:

We sleep late..

We fish a little…

We play with our children. We swim

We eat with our wives.

And in the evening we visit our friends..

We have fun, laugh and chant some songs

The tourist interrupted:

You have to start fishing for long periods every day..and then sell the extra fish for a bigger return

And buy a bigger fishing boat not this small canoe

He replied: With the big boat and the extra money..

You can buy a second and third boat, and so on until you have an integrated fleet of fishing vessels,

Instead of selling your catch to an intermediary, you will negotiate directly with the factories, and perhaps you will also open your own factory,

And you will be able to leave this village and move to  Lagos Abuja  London or even New York!

From there you will be able to start your giant projects

The Ijaw Fishermen asked the tourist:

He replied: About twenty or maybe twenty-five years

They asked him: What next?

They asked him in amazement:

Millions? Oh really ?

And what will we do after that?

replied:

And live quietly in a village on the coast, sleep late..

You play swim with your children.

And you eat with your wives.

And spend the nights enjoying

with friends

With all due respect and appreciation

But that’s exactly what we’re doing now !

So, why waste twenty-five years  doing all that ???

The Billionaire Left Them Confused …

Be Content With what you have and What You Want might just be What You ALREADY HAVE  !
