Comments on: Greek Fisherman vs. Harvard http://inspirationpalace.com/a-story-on-life-and-happiness/ Make Dreams Come True Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:37:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: DaveIsAwesome http://inspirationpalace.com/a-story-on-life-and-happiness/comment-page-1/#comment-4634 DaveIsAwesome Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:31:39 +0000 http://inspirationpalace.com/?p=34#comment-4634 I'm not saying that living a simple, humble life like the fisherman's is the wrong thing, it's different for everybody. I just get tired of people downplaying thinking big like it's a bad thing. Imagine someone telling Mario that there's no need for him to travail, to share his stories, lessons, and experiences with others. That he should just live a simple life in his home town. Ambition to improve yourself is kind of needed for the sake of those around you. Things like learning a new language, or reading books like How to Win Friends and Influence People. Making yourself a better person can also inspire others to do the same for themselves.

Improving only your own life and luck, as the Havard guy suggested, can be quite unsatisfactory, in my opinion, and clearly doesn't make sense for many people.

I don't like taking sides here... But it's good to see and know the two sides of the story! Absolutely. I don’t like taking sides here… But it’s good to see and know the two sides of the story!

If the man ever wanted say his children to grow up in a different neighborhood, or to leave a legacy for them, then he would benefit from taking the advice of the American.
