What is the difference between fishing, and camping and hiking?

It is important to strengthen the attitude of a true owner and steward of creation so it can be sustained for generations to come.

When you camp and hike you participate in creation, but don’t take ownership of it. Owners are responsible and accountable for their actions. Participants come to an event and leave when it’s over.

When people trek through the wilderness, pitch tents and build fires, they fundamentally impact the ecosystem. But if they just pass through, they aren’t aware and accountable for the ways they change the natural world. They are participants.

In contrast, when fishing, fishermen are acutely aware of their human footprint. They are actively engaged with the natural world when they receive the fish’s life. They become an inextricable part of the ecosystem. Through such experiences in nature, they learn how to be better stewards of the environment.

It is the responsibility, the obligation of all people to know the impact that human beings make on the natural world.

It will make everyone better owners and stewards of the environment who can generate balanced and sustainable models of development.

We are all born for a purpose, and it is our responsibility to live up to the purpose and expectation behind our life, reflected in our goals and aspirations.

The fundamental element of what makes humanity unique is that each and every one of us is qualitatively different. There are some who are smarter than others; there are some who can move worlds, while others can barely write sentences. Yet this qualitative difference does not mean that one is better than the other.

The genuine heart-to-heart relationship of trust and love is very important within a family because the great equalizer is true love. Although no one person is alike in a family, that diversity allows us to relate with and embrace many different characters.

How big or small, how broad or thin, what positions you hold or how much you accomplish—these are not the measure of a man’s worth. The measure of a man’s worth is the sincerity in which he lived in alignment to the principles of heaven and the values of true love.

Truth is truth, standard is standard, expectations are expectations. We are all born for a purpose, and it is our responsibility to live up to the purpose and expectation behind our life, reflected in our goals and aspirations. Family members should help each other to fulfill these goals.
