The student notes that people work hard every day to earn money and achieve success, yet true happiness does not require money. The text encourages seeing life from a different perspective.

    The fisherman and the banker


    Which lesson did I get from this text? I think that the people work every day trying to get more money and success. Then they invest that money in happiness when happiness doesnt need any money. You just need to see life by another perspective. The text reminds me another text which was written by Dalai Lama who says that the men lose their health to gain wealth, and then lose their money to regain health. And while thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present in such a way that they neither live the present nor the future. And live like they were never going to die... and die like they had never lived.
