    i wrote this story in the 1990s, not knowing German. When I put the story into my book in Fall 2008, we searched similar stories and found Boll, as well as versions in ancient Russian, Buddhist and Chinese lore. I believe I must have somehow heard this story years before as it is similar, and in the book, give full credit to Boll, etc. I have simply created a modern version of their work — there are actually several differences — and have never claimed to be the original author of the story.

    Sad, that you’ve stolen the idea and story from the Nobel Prize Winner Heinrich Böll in the 60ties. Everybody in Germany knows the story that is adapted by you!

    Big business has NOTHING to do with technological development. They are only the middle man that put it in the market to make money. Not all reap the benefits as well. The system feeds off the middle and lower classes with debt. So, your wrong.

    “Give a man a fish and you’ll feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime”
    A little fix. And I wholeheartedly agree with you. I hope you won’t judge me based on my username, seeing as you are open-minded.

    I think this is about quality over quantity.Quality of life instead of over abundance of it.

    I think this is about quality over quantity.Quality of life instead of over abundance of it. Give a man a fish, and he will eat one day.Teach a man to fish, he will feed his family. I think that too many people rely on money for material needs. when in fact, the essence of life is not found in materials, but truly in our love for our loved ones and our own self. I see that fisher man as one that is grounded, and in touch with his real needs; not in touch with the needs society wants for him.

    I don’t get it. In his imagined cannery business, he could bring fish to markets that didn’t have them before. He could help families store food in a way that wouldn’t spoil within a day. That and more.

    Don’t get me wrong, the story is lovely, but if we all sat around sipping wine and playing the guitar, would we have computers, electricity, and cars right? I mean, let’s not take big business for granted, because we all reap the benefits. That is, if you like being able to go to a supermarket.

    Let me tell something about this video: you should go on doing this kind of stuff, cause it touches so much and it is so vital, so important to hear these messages from time to time! I openly cried the first time I saw it and I thank you that! God bless you!

    think a little guys…. lisoka is right…. all of you say you agree with the video… but is it what you will really do? the good life comes with feeling that you have achieved what you wanted to achieve… and you will never be happy until you do so

    Yes, I wrote it in the late 1990s; researched it this past year and found a very similar story was written in German in 1962. So if you heard it before 1996, it probably was “Anecdote to Work;” after that, it came from my writings which were posted on over 100,000 sites that we could find over the past dozen or so years. Free Range did a great job of making it come alive, with beautiful watercolors by Reuben deLuna. All our good stories are archetypal, with many roots of shared humanity.

    Nice video – I’ve been telling this story (pretty much the same version) for years without realising it came from you.
