Once a Fruit seller was sitting relaxed under the shadow of a tree near market smoking a beedi. During that time an MBA who was passing by saw him and by curiosity enquired as to why he was sitting under a tree smoking and not working. To this the poor Fruit vendor replied that he had sold his full basket of fruits.
Hearing this the MBA was annoyed and said: Why don’t you buy some more fruits and sell them for profit instead of sitting in shadow wasting your time?
Fruit vendor asked: What would I do by selling more fruits?
MBA: You could sell more fruits and earn more money, and buy a stall of your own.
Fruit vendor: What would I do then?
MBA: You can open a chain of stalls and earn more money.
Fruit vendor : What would I do then?
MBA: You can buy some trucks to carry your fruits, employ more persons and earn lot more money.
Fruit vendor: What would I do then?
MBA: You could become a rich businessman.
Fruit Vendor: What would I do then?
MBA: You could then enjoy your life peacefully.
Fruit vendor: What do you think I’m doing right now?
MORAL – You don’t need to wait for tomorrow to be happy and enjoy your life. You don’t even need to be more rich, more powerful to enjoy life. LIFE is at this moment, enjoy it fully.
As some great men have said “My riches consist not in extent of my possessions but in the fewness of my wants”.
