Enjoy now!

A tourist in Africa was walking by the sea when he saw a man in simple clothes dozing in a fishing boat. It was an idyllic picture, so he decided to take a photograph. The click of the camera woke the man up. The tourist offered him a cigarrete. 'The weather is great. There are plenty of fish. Why are you lying around instead of going out and catching more?'

The fisherman replied: 'Because I caught enough this morning'

'But just imagine' the tourist said. 'If you went out there three times every day, you'd catch three times as much. After about a year you could buy yourself a motor-boat. After a few more years of hard work, you could have a fleet of boats working for you. And then...'

'And then?' asked the fisherman

'And then' the tourist continued triumphantly, 'you could be calmy sitting on the beach, dozing in the sun and looking at the beautiful ocean'.

(Based on a short story by Heinrich Böll)
