The following is from Kiwanis CEO Rob Parker’s Leadership Blog…
I heard a speaker recently share a story about a deep-sea fishing experience he had with his young son. He said that from his perspective it was a wonderful day. The weather was perfect, the sea was calm and beautiful, the boat was fun, and he got to spend a full day with his son. Although they had not caught any fish, it really was a wonderful time. At the end of the day he asked his son if he enjoyed himself and he was surprised at the response. His son was sad and dejected and said he thought it was terrible because they did not catch any fish. The father thought about this for a moment and then offered this insightful counsel: “If every time you went fishing you were assured of catching something, it would not be called fishing, it would be called catching.”
Let’s all share the excitement that comes with being Kiwanians!
