Put a shark in your tank

Got this post of one of my most respected mentors Mr. Arvind Passey Ji...
He rocks for sure...

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the water close to
Japan has not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese
population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The
farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring the fish. If the
return trip took more time, the fish were not fresh.
To solve this problem, fish companies installed freezers on their
boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers
allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the
Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen fish.
And they did not like the taste of frozen fish. The frozen fish brought
a lower price.
So, fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish
and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around,
they were tired, dull, and lost their fresh-fish taste. The fishing
industry faced an impending crisis!
But today, they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan. How did they
manage? To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing
companies still put the fish in the tanks but with a small shark.
The fish are challenged and hence are constantly on the move. The
challenge they face keeps them alive and fresh!
Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but most
of the time tired and dull? Basically in our lives, sharks are new
challenges to keep us active. If you are steadily conquering
challenges, you are happy.
Your challenges keep you energized. Don't create success and
revel in it in a state of inertia. You have the resources, skills and
abilities to make a difference. Put a shark in your tank and see
how far you can really go!

Wonderful and inspiring nuggets of wisdom. If only we could follow the sublime ideas in toto! There is a bit of catch though, at least it seems. Shall we fight the external sharks for the perverse delight of someone else, which cannot be the creator in all certitude? Let us instead try to fight the inner sharks so as to morph into a better human being rather than just being a successful one. Global terrorism too needs a catharsis with the end of an antiquated year and ideology! Hail the dawn of a new era of love and peace!
