Have you ever felt afraid of trying new challenges, of getting out of your comfort zone? I guess we all have those fears. I always feel excited to try something new, but somehow fear is creeping inside of me and makes me think twice and sometimes that fear makes me change my decision. But today I learnt from a simple story that fear is not always bad -and sometimes it's even good for ourselves. Here's the story....
The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the water close to Japan has not held many fish for decades. To feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went further than ever. The return trip took more time and as a result of this, the fishes weren't fresh anymore. To solve the problem, fish companies installed freezers on the boats. But the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh fish and frozen fish and they don't like the taste of the latter. So instead of freezers, the companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and put them in the tanks. After a little trashing around, the fish became tired, dull -and lost the fresh-fish taste. So that solution didn't work either.
The fishing industry faced an impending crisis, but today, Japanese people can taste fresh fish every day again. How? To keep the fish tasting fresh, the fish companies still put the fish in the tanks, but with a little shark as companion. With the shark, the fish are challenged and hence they are constantly on the move. The challenge they face keeps them fresh and alive!
Do you guys realize that we are all also living in a big pond and most of the times feel dull and tired? Basically in our lives, sharks are the new challenges that keep us active. If you are steadily conquering challenges, you are happy. Your challenges keep you energized. So don't be satisfied with the routine activities that bring you success. Put a shark in your life and be amazed about how far you can go and how capable you are.
