   As Salamu Alaikum

This was a forwarded mail. Its very intresting, so thought to share with here

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. 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. You have fun. You are alive!

Recommendations for us:

1. Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them. 
Beat the heck out of them. Enjoy the game. If your challenges are too large or 
too numerous, do not give up. Failing makes you tired. 
Instead, reorganize. Find more determination 
more knowledge, more help.

2.Allah swt didn't promise days 
without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but he did promise 
strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.

3. Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow 
you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards.. Don't stay on the 
bumps too long. Move on!

4. When you feel 
down because you didn't get what you want, just sit tight and be happy, because God has 
thought of something better to give you. When something happens to you, good or 
bad, consider what it means. There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you 
how to laugh more or not to cry too hard.

5. No one can go back and make a brand new start. 
But anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
