The irony..

A Japanese fisher man loves to fish. He sells just enough fish to pay for his bills; and enjoys a happy family life since his fishing does not take up all his time. A business man comes along, shakes his head and suggests that the fisher man buys a boat, hires men and fishes in deeper waters. That way, he advises, the fisherman can catch more fish... See More, make more money, and in turn buy more boats and hire even more men!

The fisher man asks, "for what reason would I do such a thing?" The businessman smiles and says that once he has established a thriving business, he has then the option to sell it so that he can live a more leisurely life; perhaps spend more time with his family and hobbies. The fisherman smiles and says – "I already have that now…why would I waste time walking in circles only to come back to where I am now?"
