Long long ago, there were two hungry men got gifts from a elder: a fishing rod and a basket of fresh big fish. One man got the fish and the other man got the fishing rod, then they separated from each other. The man got the fish set up fire and cooked fish at once, the devoured fish ravenously, without degusting the fish’s dainty, he ate up the fish and the fish soup. Before long, he starved to death beside the empty fish basket.

The other man suffered from hunger, walked towards the beach step by step with the fishing rod in his hand. When he saw the blue ocean not far away, he used up his last strength, with endless pity he died.

There were another two men, they got gifts: a fishing rod and a basket of fish, from the elder as well. But they didn’t separate from each other, they conferred with each other and decided to search the ocean. They cooked one fish every time, after a long distance trek, they arrived the beach. Then, they started their life of fishing. Several years later, they built houses, got married, had children, had their own fishing boats. They lived happily and restfully.

If people focus on benefit short-dated, they can just get happiness temporary; if people has long-range target, he also has to face the realism of life.
