   The One That Didn't
Get Away
Pictured above is customer and World Champion fisherman, Jim Sollecito of Sollecito Landscape Nursery, Syracuse, NY, with his 3rd World Champion Arctic Char, taken while on an excursion to the far reaches of Labrador last Summer.
Click here to read the amazing story of how he
and this fish collided on their path to destiny.    
  
When Jim sent me this article, I thought, there's got to be a business lesson in here somewhere.
Then when I started searching for quotes,
I quickly found that I was headed
in the wrong direction.
 This was confirmed when Jim made the comment,
"I work hard, I play harder."
Our raison d'etre,
as the French would say,
is NOT that we should live to work;
we should work to LIVE!  
  You only have ONE life.
Don't let it be the one that got away!!!
 
The following story is a vivid reminder of this point:


There  was once a businessman who was sitting by the beach in a small  Brazilian village. As he sat, he saw a Brazilian fisherman rowing a  small boat towards the shore having caught quite a few big fish.
 
The  businessman was impressed and asked the fisherman, "How long does it  take you to catch so many fish?" The fisherman replied, "Oh, just a  short while."
"Then why don't you stay longer at sea and catch even more?" The businessman was astonished.
"This is enough to feed my family," the fisherman said.
 
The businessman then asked,
"So, what do you do for the rest of the day?"
The  fisherman replied, "Well, I usually wake up early in the morning, go  out to sea and catch a few fish, then go back and play with my kids. In  the afternoon, I take a nap with my wife, and evening comes, I join my  buddies in the village for a drink - we play guitar, sing and dance  throughout the night."
 
 
 The businessman offered a  suggestion to the fisherman. "I am a PhD in business management. I could  help you to become a more successful person. From now on, you should  spend more time at sea and try to catch as many fish as possible. When  you have saved enough money, you could buy a bigger boat and catch even  more fish. Soon you will be able to afford to buy more boats, set up  your own company, your own production plant for canned food and  distribution network. By then, you will have moved out of this village & to Sao Paulo, where you can set up HQ to manage your other  branches."
The fisherman continues, "And after that?"
The  businessman laughs heartily, "After that, you can live like a king in  your own house, and when the time is right, you can go public and float  your shares in the Stock Exchange, and you will be rich." 
 
The fisherman asks, "And after that?"
The  businessman says, "After that, you can finally retire, you can move to a  house by the fishing village, wake up early in the morning, catch a few  fish,
 then return home to play with kids,
have a nice afternoon nap  with your wife,
and when evening comes,
you can join your buddies for a  drink, play the guitar,
sing and dance throughout the night!"
