What is the point of the story?

It is how you should approach life:

1) When you are young, you are trying and failing over and over again searching for a solution

You put in the work, you are inefficient at first due to minimal guidance and inexperience

THE ONLY WAY TO GAIN EXPERIENCE IS THROUGH EFFORT

2) You copy success around you, even if you are surrounded by animals with no human contact they are a source of information

EVERYONE YOU MEET WILL BE A SOURCE OF AT LEAST ONE PIECE OF USEFUL INFORMATION

3) You adjust to achieve results, it is not pleasant to wake up before dawn to catch a fish but it does not matter if it is pleasant or not

WHAT MATTERS IS IF YOU WISH TO CAPTURE A FISH

4) By the time you are independent and standing on your own feet, you should expand your network

A MAN WITH JUST 3 REAL FRIENDS IS A MAN OF GREAT VALUE
A MAN WITH HUNDREDS IS WEALTHY

5) When you meet a new group of superior men the last thing on your mind should be competition

Contribute what you can to be near superior men

EVEN IF YOU COULD BURN DOWN THE ENTIRE TRIBE, YOU WOULD BE LEFT WITH ONLY ASH

6) When offered new responsibility you jump at the chance

No one grows by staying in the same position

YOU DELIVER RESULTS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MAKING IT MUCH EASIER FOR YOU TO CREATE A TEAM IN THE FUTURE

7) As your tasks continue to grow, you make many friends

What makes a castle strong is not the walls but the relationships within the community

WITHOUT THEIR TRUST THEY WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU

8) As you age your physical skillet declines, however the skills you developed when young and energetic should make your thoughts more valuable than your muscles

You are not financially independent until people will pay a handsome sum for your opinion

NOW YOU ARE A WALKING BUSINESS

9) At the top of the food chain, leadership qualities begin to trump experience

Anyone who can make it near the top of the food chain will have a plethora of life experience, BUT ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THOSE MEN CAN DEVELOP HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS AS WELL

10) Throughout your life, the greatest amount of happiness you feel will directly relate to the hours you put in to achieve your goals

If you have a life theme of improvement, your happiness can increase each and every year

THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD CATCH YOUR FIRST FISH EARLY IN LIFE, AND
TRAIN YOUR BRAIN INTO THE MINDSET IT NEEDS TO SUCCEED FOREVER

Lets assume you’ve transgressed a few laws within this story

- Maybe you don’t see the connection between work and happiness
- Maybe you’re spending your time trying to take down a castle someone has built in stead of building your own and
- Maybe you are not infiltrating the right tribes at this time

No matter

Instead we will leave you with the following Chinese Proverb

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now”
