The Fish ... Japanese Way !

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?

Here is How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh:


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.


Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but most of the time tired & dull,


so we need a Shark in our life to keep us awake and moving?


Conclusion : Basically in our lives Sharks are new challenges to keep us active and lively.....

Attitude

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

"Dear Son, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to misdo the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot.If you were here; all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot, for me if you weren't in the prison. " Love,Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram:

"For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!!That's where I buried the GUNS!!" At 4 a.m.the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns. Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened and asked him what to do next. "

His son's reply was :

"Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad It's the best I could do for you from here."

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART, YOU CAN DO IT; IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS NOT WHERE YOU ARE.

Attitude is Everything.....

Priority

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. "

He added further : "What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups. Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Some times, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

Don't let the cups drive you... Enjoy the coffee instead !
