Everyone missed what he said at the end vs what he was already living the difference at the end of the 10 to 15 years he missed the time with his own children and he would spend the time with his grand children don’t sacrifice your time for money balance is what it’s all about sometimes being rich is not always having money

You know what is sad? That this video has been up for over a decade and it only has 140k views Meanwhile let someone put up a twerking or prank video and it would get that many views in a week This is whats wrong with the world today!

This is a good video with a great message, but wouldn't selling your fish to a processor be adding in the middle man, not cutting him out

Comment from : Chandarong Nuon

This is only true for some people This video assumes that everyone can do the thing they love everyday without money
Comment from : David Oze

Actually the video is promoting both the simple and the wealthy life stating money does not change a persons interests it is just it takes a large chunk of your life to attain millions as opposed to being content with what you have

Thanks a lot of the inspirational video It was very nice and very educative Mark hats off to your ideas and thoughts Life changing God bless
Comment from : Preetham Paul Fernandes

Interesting that this whole thing was about money, and yet the title said the opposite Also interesting how this thing implied that poor people choose to be poor, and that anyone can be rich if they just want to Mark needs to read up on regulatory legislation of the fishing industry before he makes another one

Comment from : Ricardo Cárdenas

Wait Wait!! The fisherman lives the same life if he's a millionaire or if he's not a millionaire So why should he work hard for 10-15 years?

@noelz14 Original music done by Free Range Studios for me for this video
Comment from : Mark Albion

Love the background music! Someone please help me out with it?
Comment from : Noël N

I wrote and published this nearly 20 years ago However, when we researched it for the book in 2009, we found a very similar story in German written in 1961 which we site in the book And apparently, this is an archetypal story that appears in various form in ancient Russian and Buddhist literature The video is a modern adaptation of my story in the 1990s which appears in various forms on over 100,000 websites, a 1961 story and ancient lore

wise
Comment from : Straw Bun

Yes, it is intended to help parents and children discuss important issues of what is success in life, what is the role of community, spirituality, friendship and service to the "good" life
Comment from : Mark Albion

@Agent12Smith I was just reminded of this video and Mark's great work How I have used his message and book -- both in my life and business -- is as a way to remind me that as I strive for all the stuff I want, never forget all I already have in the love I have developed It does not stop me from striving -- I just strive with greater awareness
Comment from : Andrea Goeglein, PhD

Absolutely The point of the story is to make you take a step back and think, independently, about what success means to you rather than to swallow a certain definition whole without thought or personal principles and values
Comment from : Mark Albion

yeah the global warming will kill all these fishes so that man got no fishes to catch and he will die in pain instead of having money and giving his kids an easy life
Comment from : kllc

Without making that connection Mark, all you do is direct that flow of intellect and passion toward whatever the new MBA decides is his own little corner of paradise to distort and basically, destroy And along with it goes the ability for true craftsman like this gentleman, to carry forward tradition If we aren't giving back more than we take, nothing can be sustained, and if it isn't sustainable, it's suicidal - for our souls, or our planet and all - including us, that are reliant upon it
Comment from : quiethand

Kudos for first, sharing how the blind pursuit of wealth is an empty prospect Now please, connect the dots to resource depletion and the externalities ignored by virtually every MBA program in the world, and take responsibility for preserving the option for future fisherman to even exist There remains now only the shell of a fishing "industry" precisely because what they teach you in school is flawed to the core: complete ignorance of the importance of scale And that is the lie untold here
Comment from : quiethand

If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day If you teach him how to fish, you feed him for But what we want to do is change the fishing industry :)
Comment from : Mark Albion

you forgot Ghandi
Comment from : Jankers

i dont think this is a recruitment video for fishermen
Comment from : Jankers

'Office Space' What would you do if you had a million dollars And like the main character of the movie I don't have an answer I would spend time with my family and do charity work This won't help me find a "fitting" job, because If I didn't need money I would never require it in my profession The things I enjoy doing are hobbies, and I don't enjoy any of them enough to choose them as a profession I guess I'll just take this vid to say "value is in the eye of the beholder"
Comment from : sherlockfury

The movie's intent is not to glorify the fisherman or demonize the MBA (me!) It is meant to show two value systems and as done in the More Than Money book, give you a multi-dimensional way of measuring success, in which you choose what works for you In fact, in the teaching note for the film, I mention that I could NEVER be the fisherman I'd go nuts! But the point is self-awareness: how do you measure success and are you spending your life energy aligned with that

much thanks!

Mark you've done it very well
Comment from : Sylvester Rajasekaran

Why are you so cynical? Did you know that we are in the midst of giving away 54,550 PDFs of the book to MBAs at 75 business schools as they have asked for the book the past 8 years? Is that another advertisement to buy a book?
Comment from : Mark Albion

This is sentimentality of the worse sort - an advertisement to get you to buy a book If you want the simple life, get off youtube and give away your computer (and your pension, and your health insurance, etc)
Comment from : Paul Doolan

dont you get it? The fisherman already has all the things he would acquire after becoming a millionaire, meaning it doesn't matter if he has a large bank account, happiness and satisfaction is there without loosing the 10-15 years of business development
Comment from : Adnan S

I must pleasantly disagree, both from my personal experience, and also because the person I based my story on, mostly because of his partner, had given up quite a bit of wealth "abroad" to live in this manner You may be right in the "majority," but I think there's a significant minority that may disagree :)
Comment from : Mark Albion

This is a beautiful story and a beautiful piece of film-making
Comment from : Jeevan Sivasubramaniam

Love this video!
Comment from : Jeevan Sivasubramaniam

I produced this movie with Free Range Studios, based on a story I wrote over a decade ago, after returning from scuba diving on Salt Cay, an island of only 70 people I thought, what would the MBA in me want to do with Ollie (and Debbie)'s dive operation The story went viral, with no one knowing who wrote it I'd love to hear what you think of the film And please do spread it around It comes from my new career book for MBAs - and others - More Than Money: Questions Every MBA Needs to Answer
