Story about a bum and a business man?

Question

I once read a short little page about a business man walking down the beach and comes across a bum laying in the sand. His hands behind his head, enjoing the sunshine. (or he might of been fishing)...The rest of the story is about the Business man asking why he doesn't start fishing or maybe....sell his fish to make money...then he might have enough to buy a boat. Sell lots of fish.....buy a fleet of boats. Make lots of money and soon be very rich. ect. Then he wouldn't have to ever work again and be able to just relax on the beach. No worrys. The bum says to him....isn't that what i am doing right now? Please if anyone has that. Let me know. I just guessed at the wording. I forget how it goes, but it made an impact in my life.

Answer 1

Me too, but I didn't read it. A friend told it to me, in almost the same words as you used. It's a good story tho, shows you how you don't need money to be happy. I'll try to ask him where he got it from.
