There was in Greece a fisherman sitting under a tree and was relaxing from the morning fishing. A rich foreigner saw that lazy fisherman and thought I have to give him a good lesson… He asked what are you doing? I sit hear and relax. I have now a good time and for fishing it is now too hot… But if you would fish now, you would have more money. The fisherman said: And then? Then you could save more money, buy yourself an own fisher boat with an engine… And Then? Because of the engine you can deliver the fishes much faster and so make more money. And Then? Then you can buy a bigger fisher boat and even can fish fishes from far away. And Then? Then you buy a next boat and hire a crew. And Then? You buy the next boats, so that you have your own fleet. And Then? Then you don’t need to work anymore and you can relax. But this I do already now!!!!
Diogenes was sitting on the beach in his container and was relaxing, when Alexander the Great passed by with his huge troupe his beach… Alexander the Great saw this poor, lazy fellow and thought, lets give him a lecture… Alexander went to Diogenes and stand directly in front of him, ready to kill him. Diogenes said: You are standing in the sun, I want to take a sun bath… Immediately Alexander stepped to the side, and thought, how dare this guy is to command me. Alexander said: Have you seen my huge Army? I am Alexander the Great who is commanding this Army. I am now going to India, in order to conquer it. Diogenes simple said: Everybody is dying in the middle of his journey. Now I like to make a sunbath…
So died also Alexander the Great on his journey… When he died, he commanded that they should make two wholes in his coffin, let hang out his hands of the wholes, so that everybody could see, that also he died with empty hands….
