FISH STORY - JAPANESE WAY

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to
Japan have 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 in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh.

The Japanese did not like the taste.

To solve this problem, fishing 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 and they did
not like 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, the fish
stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately,
the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did
not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste. The Japanese
preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.
So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do
they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan? If you were consulting the
fish industry, what would you recommend?

How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh:

To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies
still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to
each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive
in a very lively state. The fish are challenged.

Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but
most of the time tired & dull, so we need a Shark in our life to
keep us awake and moving? Basically in our lives Sharks are new
challenges to keep us active and taste better...

The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more
you enjoy a challenge.

If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are steadily
conquering those challenges, you are Conqueror. You think of your
challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions.
