Several fishermen were fishing by the shore while nearby tourists enjoyed the magnificent seascape. Suddenly, one fisherman jerked his rod and landed a large fish, nearly three feet long. Even after being tossed onto the shore, the fish continued to struggle violently. To everyone's surprise, the fisherman simply stepped on the large fish, unhooked it, and tossed it back into the sea.
The onlookers gasped in astonishment. They couldn't believe that such a large fish was not enough to satisfy him, thinking his ambitions must be immense.
As the crowd watched with bated breath, the fisherman jerked his rod once more. This time, he caught a two-foot-long fish. Still, without so much as a glance, he casually threw it back into the water.
On the third attempt, the rod lifted again, revealing a small fish less than a foot long. The onlookers assumed this little one would also be released, but To their surprise, the fisherman carefully unhooked it and placed it into his basket.
Confused by this behavior, the tourists asked why he chose the small fish over the large ones.
To their surprise, the fisherman replied, "Oh, it's because the largest plate I have at home is only one foot long. If I catch a fish that's too big, my plates won't be able to hold it."
Reflection: On the journey of life, it is crucial to find goals that are truly suitable for you. Otherwise, you will forever struggle with the frustration of never being satisfied.
