Fishermanandbusinessman一天,一个渔夫躺在沙滩上,旁边架着鱼竿,鱼线甩在蓝色的大海里,随着闪闪发光的海浪不停地涌动。他惬意地享受午后阳光,等着鱼儿咬钩。这时一位商人沿着沙滩走了过来,他到海边来舒缓一下他紧张的工作压力。商人看到了躺在沙滩上的渔夫,很想知道为什么渔夫不努力养家糊口,而是在这里钓鱼。“你这样可掉不到几条鱼。”商人对渔夫说。“你应该认真点,而不是躺在沙滩上休息。”渔民抬头看了看商人,笑着回答:“那样做我能得到什么回报啊?”“那样你会有钱买个大的渔网,捕到更多的鱼。”商人回答他。Onedayafishermanwaslyingonabeautifulbeach,withhisfishingpoleproppedupinthesandandhissolitarylinecastoutintothesparkingbluesurf.Hewasenjoyingthewarmthoftheafternoonsunandtheprospectofcatchingafish.Aboutthattime,abusinessmancamewalkingdownthebeach,tryingtorelievesomeofthestressofhisworkday.Henoticedthefishermansittingonthebeachanddecidedtofindoutwhythisfishermanwasfishinginsteadofworkinghardertomakealivingforhimselfandhisfamily.Youaren'tgoingtocatchmanyfishthatway.saidthebusinessmantothefisherman.Youshouldbeworkingratherthanlyingonthebeach!Thefishermanlookedupatthebusinessman,smiledandawkwardlyreplied,Andwhatwillmyrewardbe?’’“Well,youcangetbiggernetsandcatchmorefish!”wasthebusinessman'sanswer.“那样做又会得到什么回报呢?”渔夫依然笑着问。商人回答道:“你会赚钱,然后你就能买一艘船,这会让你达到更多的鱼!”“然后我又能得到什么回报?”渔夫又问。商人开始对渔夫的问题感到恼火。“你可以买更大的船,然后雇人为你工作!”商人说。“那么然后呢,我能得到什么?”渔夫重复问道。商人生气了。“你难道不明白么?你可以建立起自己的捕鱼船队,到世界各地去,让你的工人给你捕鱼!”Andthenwhatwillmyrewardbe?askedthefisherman,stillsmiling.Thebusinessmanreplied,Youwillmakemoneyandyou'llbeabletobuyaboat,whichwillthenresultinlargercatchesoffish!’’Andthenwhatwillmyrewardbe?askedfishermanagain.Thebusinessmanwasbeginningtogetalittleirritatedwiththefisherman'squestions.Youcanbuyabiggerboat,andhiresomepeopletoworkforyou!hesaid.Andthenwhatwillmyrewardbe?“repeatedthefisherman.Thebusinessmanwaspracticallyangry.“Don'tyouunderstand?Youcanbuildupafleetoffishingboats,sailallovertheworld,andappointallyouemployeescatchfishforyou!”Onceagainthefishermanasked,Andthenwhatwillmyrewardbe?“Thebusinessmanwasredwithrageandshoutedatthefisherman,“Don'tyouunderstandthatyoucanbecomesorichthatyouwillneverhavetoworkforyourlivingagain!Youcanspendalltherestofyourdayssittingonthebeach,lookingatthesunset.Youwon'thaveacareintheworld!Thefisherman,stillsmiling,lookedupandsaid,AndwhatdoyouthinkI'mdoingrightnow?渔夫再次问道:“这么做我会得到什么呢?”商人气得面红耳赤,冲渔夫喊道:“你怎么就不明白?你可以变得非常富有,再也不用赚钱工作了!你的后半生都可以坐在沙滩上看日落,不用在乎周围的世界!”渔夫依旧微笑着,抬头看着商人说道:“那你说我现在在干什么?不就是坐在沙滩上看日落吗?”Onoccasion,manypeoplehavebeenworkinghardintheirwholelivesinordertoleadahappylifeand.Theyworkhard,earnmoneyandsaveitwhilehopingmoneycanbuyhappiness.Butthisstorytellsus,infact,ourattitudestolifearewrongatthebeginning.Whatweexpectantlygetfromwork?Thebusinessmaninthestorycan‘tanswerthequestionatlast.Wearemereplayanpartinthesocialization.Maybeweshouldstoptheworkstepproperlyanddon’tforgetthemostimportantthingsinourlives.Happinessisuptoyourattitude.有时,很多人一生都在拼命工作,目的就是要获得幸福和快乐的生活。他们努力工作、赚钱、攒钱,希望钱能够买来他们的幸福。但是这个故事告诉我们,实际上我们对生活的态度从一开始就是错误的。我们工作期望得到什么?故事里面的商人一直没有能够正确的回答这个问题。我们只是在扮演一个参与社会的人,也许我们应该适当地把努力工作的脚步停一停,不要忘记我们生活中最重要的那些东西。是否快乐,取决于你的态度。
