MY LIFE, YOUR LIFE, THEIR LIFE

Life is Like Fishing

Have you ever imagined that actually your life is happening like when you are fishing using a hook? If you haven’t, I will try to explain to you by illustrating it.

First of all, before I illustrate it, you should understand what does fishing mean? When you take a look to the dictionary, you’ll find that fishing is an action of catching fish using a small piece of metal shaped like a ‘J’ fixed at the end of a fishing-line used for catching the fish. After you know the definition, let me start to illustrate your life which is the same like fishing.

OK then, this is the illustration.

Firstly, try to take your fishhook. Begin your fishing from the gutter in front of your house. Then, imagine what result that you’ll get is.

 After you do fishing in the gutter, try to move to another place. Another place is the small river nearby your house. Try to go and do the fishing there. Then, imagine what result that you’ll get is.

Thirdly, again, try to move to another place for getting another result. In this time, you should go to the bigger river like Nile, Hwang Ho, or etc. or you may move to a very large lake. Again, imagine what result that you’ll get is.

 

 

If you have not been satisfied enough with the result you have got, you can move to the ocean and try to do fishing there. And again, imagine what result that you’ll get is.

After you do such that thing, go back to your home and try to change your present hook with the bigger one. Repeat the activities above, start from the gutter to the ocean. Then answer this following question, “what result that you’ll get is.”

After repeating and answering your activity, please cogitate these following statements.

Hope and wish can be reached when we accurately choose the most suitable fishhook and the most suitable place.   

However, we have to remember that although, our fishhook and our place have been suitable, we can’t guarantee that we’ll get what we want to. Sometimes, our fish may escape from our fishhook when we lift it up.

That case is apparently the same as our life. Although, we have set up something very carefully, sometimes we don’t get something that we hope to get. It may miss or even we don’t get anything.

So, what action that we should take to overcome that problem?

 

The action is keep trying and praying to the God. Because, we are only becoming the executor of the action and not becoming the decision maker. The one that decides all of the result is only God.

Lastly, if you want to be success, you should keep trying and praying. Because trying without praying is nothing and praying without trying is bullshit.
