@Agent12Smith I was just reminded of this video and Mark’s great work. How I have used his message and book — both in my life and business — is as a way to remind me that as I strive for all the stuff I want, never forget all I already have in the love I have developed. It does not stop me from striving — I just strive with greater awareness

The message is good and if you take nothing else from it, it points out the selfishness and pointlessness of greed without conscience. We all have too much stuff we don’t need, I saved really hard year and year for my retirement and what have I got? My husband is dead and I know I was happier when I was really skint bringing up three children on my own after their father left. I had genuine people around me then…
Absolutely. The point of the story is to make you take a step back and think, independently, about what success means to you rather than to swallow a certain definition whole without thought or personal principles and values.
Sounds great, but what about financial security in retirement, health insurance, life insurance, a nice house, nice cars, college tuition for his kids, etc., etc.
There are reasons the simple life is sounds great…and that so many people strive for more…no right or wrong here. It’s all about balance
yeah the global warming will kill all these fishes so that man got no fishes to catch and he will die in pain instead of having money and giving his kids an easy life.
Without making that connection Mark, all you do is direct that flow of intellect and passion toward whatever the new MBA decides is his own little corner of paradise to distort and basically, destroy. And along with it goes the ability for true craftsman like this gentleman, to carry forward tradition.
If we aren’t giving back more than we take, nothing can be sustained, and if it isn’t sustainable, it’s suicidal – for our souls, or our planet and all – including us, that are reliant upon it.
Kudos for first, sharing how the blind pursuit of wealth is an empty prospect. Now please, connect the dots to resource depletion and the externalities ignored by virtually every MBA program in the world, and take responsibility for preserving the option for future fisherman to even exist.
There remains now only the shell of a fishing “industry” precisely because what they teach you in school is flawed to the core: complete ignorance of the importance of scale. And that is the lie untold here.
Wow this was pretty unexpected and soo heart-warming for some reason ^_^
Has no sense all this.
Before this age, ALL PEOPLE lived a simple life!
But they had needs, that without money couldn’t satisfy!
for this, appeared ”business schools”, and MBA , and schools of exellence etc.
to make people more competitive in their work, to avoid errors, and to make them MORE RICH.
so… why people have to return back in a ”simple life”, when they paid thousands of dollars to form themselves in ”make money” courses?
lol
Lol. then why the author and all CEO don’t give up and go fish or making a ”simple life”?
The question is:
How do the video continue?
at the start, the mba said that he was in the fishing village for ”some days”. then?
The author returned in his city, and became a stressed ceo of a multinational company with an all-time ringing phone, a beautiful secretary/lover and living his life at 100% with a mountain of money.
If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day.
If you teach him how to fish, you feed him for …
But what we want to do is change the fishing industry
you forgot Ghandi.
Not at all. I could never be the/a fisherman
But I can use the film to reflect on what is important to me and others in our lives, and to not get caught up in someone else’s idea of what makes for a successful, a good, life.
i dont think this is a recruitment video for fishermen.
Very nice! I liked it alot.
It is good to do just that. Without criticising either one. I guess the one you relate to the most is the one you should be. (of course more than a fisherman or MBA) Thanks for sharing this.
Nice try. Keep it up check out esteembpo + com for social media marketing. igrhif
Nice work. keep it up. mean time come for social media marketing for esteembpo**com FHGKM
I would feel bored with a life like that of the fishermen, honestly
Read this it really works!!!!!!!!!!!!! put your hands on your chest both hands and think of a crush or bf..tomorrow they will kiss u say the love u or ask u out but here is the catch put this message on five other videos for good luck
what the world is gonna be if every one thinks like the fishman? i don’t know, maybe life would be much simpler.
‘Office Space’. What would you do if you had a million dollars. And like the main character of the movie I don’t have an answer. I would spend time with my family and do charity work. This won’t help me find a “fitting” job, because If I didn’t need money I would never require it in my profession. The things I enjoy doing are hobbies, and I don’t enjoy any of them enough to choose them as a profession. I guess I’ll just take this vid to say “value is in the eye of the beholder”
another side of view ^^
The movie’s intent is not to glorify the fisherman or demonize the MBA (me!). It is meant to show two value systems and as done in the More Than Money book, give you a multi-dimensional way of measuring success, in which you choose what works for you. In fact, in the teaching note for the film, I mention that I could NEVER be the fisherman. I’d go nuts! But the point is self-awareness: how do you measure success and are you spending your life energy aligned with that.
Very nice
