A story: 

I like the following story. It goes like this. The rich industrialist from the North was horrified to find the Southern Fisherman lying lazily beside his boat, smoking a pipe. “Why aren’t you out fishing?” said the industrialist. “Because I have caught enough fish for the day” said the fisherman. “Why don’t you catch some more?” “What would I do with them?” “You could earn more money” was the industrialists reply. “With that you could have a motor fixed to your boat---and catch more fish. Then you would make enough to buy nylon nets. These would bring you more fish and more money. Soon you would make enough money to buy two boats—maybe a fleet of boats. Then you would be a rich man like me”. “What would i do then?”asked the fisherman. “Then you could really enjoy life”. What do you think I am doing right now?

Are you too busy?: 

A man comes into his company’s lunchroom one day and sits down next to his friend. He opens his lunch bag, pulls out a sandwich, opens the wrapping and peers down. Oh, he says to his friend. “What’s the matter?” asks his friend. A cheese sandwich! I hate cheese sandwiches, he says and grumpily starts choking it down. They’re awful. So dry. The next day he sits down next the same friend, and opens his lunch bag. “O, I can’t believe it” he says. “Another cheese sandwich”. His friend shakes his head sympathetically and watches his friend grimace as he eats the sandwich. On the third day, the man once again sits down next to his friend and opens his lunch bag. “Oh brother” he says. “Another cheese sandwich?”. His friend says, “Boy, you really hate cheese sandwiches, don’t you?” “Yes I can’t stand them!” Finally his friend says, If you don’t mind me asking something, why don’t you just tell your wife to stop making you cheese sandwiches. “Oh”, says the man, “I’m not married”. “Well then”, said his friend, “who makes your cheeses every day?” “I do”, he said.
