I went fishing with my father-in-law on the Philippine Sea today. For some reason our guide Hosoda-san thought there might be an issue with wind and delayed our outset by some hours. This meant we had only half the usual time on the water but we sure brought in a haul! We caught a dozen fish including a John Dory and a Fugu (puffer) as well as a couple of "rough fish" such as lizardfish.

Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a man of value will give more than he receives.
