Think SMART, ACT SMART &.......SELL S.M.A.R.T.....................

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 solvethisproblem, fish companies installed freezers on their boats.
They wouldcatchthe fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to gofartherand stay longer.
However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh andfrozenfish. And they did not like the taste of frozen fish.
The frozen fishbrought a lower price.So, fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fishandstuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around,theywere tired, dull, and lost their fresh-fish taste.
The fishing industryfaced an impending crisis! But today, they get fresh-tasting fish toJapan.
How did they manage?
To keep the fish tasting fresh,
the Japanese fishing companies still putthe 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 ofthetime 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.
Youhave the resources, skills and abilities to make a difference.
Put a shark in your tank and see how far you can really go
