　　There was a group called “the Fisherman’s Fellowship”. They were surrounded by streams and lakes full of hungry fish. They got excited about fishing!

　　Someone said that they needed a philosophy of fishing, so they carefully defined and redefined fishing and the purpose of fishing. They developed fishing skills. Then they realized that they had been going at it backwards. They had approached fishing from the point of view of the fisherman, and not from the point of view of the fish. How did fish view the world? What did fish eat and when? These were all good things to know. So they began research on fishing and attended conferences on fishing. Some traveled to faraway places to study different kinds of fish with different habits. But no one had yet gone fishing.

　　With meetings, conferences, and seminars (研讨会), they just simply didn’t have time to fish.

　　Jake was a newcomer to The Fisherman’s Fellowship. After the meeting of the Fellowship, Jake went fishing. He tried a few things, got the hang of it, and caught a big fish. At the next meeting, he told his story, and he was honored for his catch, and then scheduled to speak at all the meetings and tell how he did it. Because of all the speaking invitations and his election to the board of directors of The Fisherman’s Fellowship, Jake no longer had time to go fishing.
