You do need a SHARK
This is a story; worth remembering ...

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?

*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.

*The Lesson*

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?

Basically in our lives Sharks are new challenges to keep us active and
taste better.
The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more you
enjoy a challenge. If your challenges are the correct size, and if you
are steadily conquering those challenges, you are a Conqueror. You think
of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new
solutions.

Thoughts are like fallen leaves, that have no root or cause. Some are bright and some are plain rot.
