There is an old saying, “nobody buys a drill because they
want a drill, they buy one because they want a hole.” It is not always
what you want, but what you ultimately need that drives our desires.
Henry David Thoreau said it this way, "Many men go fishing all of their
lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." For the
commercial fisherman, it is a living he is after. It is money to have a home
and to feed his family. For the sport fisherman it is often the getting
away or the solitude of a mountain stream.
People often think "they are going fishing", but in reality they are
seeking something that fulfills their life and their dreams.
