Fresh Fish

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, fin
to fin. 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!
