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 lively…..

A small shark in this story is like my challenger. Not only me but also everyone has to challenge each other in our meaningful lives. The Japaneses represent for job providers; they need potential employees like fresh-fish test. We need to be skillful. If we are not, the Japanese--job providers--will reject us because we are not potential enough. In oder to be accepted by job offerers, we must be as lively as the fish. You ought to try to make yourself to be more lively suppose you are not challenging enough. Thank! From Yorn Saren.
