Shark in your tank........

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the water close to Japan
has 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 the fish. If
the return trip took more time, the fish were not fresh. To solve this
problem, fish 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 fish. And they did not like the taste of frozen fish.
The frozen fish brought a lower price.

So, fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the
fish and stuff them in after a little thrashing around, they were tired,
dull, and lost their fresh-fish taste. The fishing industry faced an
impending crisis! But today, they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan.

How did they manage?

To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing
companies still put the fish in the tanks but with a small shark. The fish
are challenged and hence are constantly on the move.

The challenge they face keeps them alive and fresh!

Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but most of
the time tired and dull?
Basically in our lives, sharks are new challenges to keep us active.
If you are steadily conquering challenges, you are happy.
Your challenges keep you energized. Don't create success and revel
in it in a state of inertia. You have the resources, skills and abilities
to make a difference.


Put a shark in your tank and see how far you can really go!
