An eye test is not just about getting glasses. An eye test can help detect eye conditions before you notice the effect on your sight. During an eye test, you will be asked to read letters or numbers on a chart. For those who are not able to read, there are other tests such as identifying pictures etc etc etc.....

An investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The banker complimented the fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.
The fisherman replied, "Only a little while."
The banker then asked, "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more fish?"
The fisherman said, "With this I have more than enough to support my family's needs."
The banker then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
The fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, go for walks with my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my friends. As you can see, I have a full and busy life."
The banker scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and can help you. You should spend more time fishing; and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat! With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to the capital city. After that, who knows, maybe you could take on the world!”
The fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?"
To which the banker replied, "I’d say about 15 to 20 years."
"But what then?" asked the fisherman.
The banker laughed and said, “That's the best part! When the time is right, you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions."
"Millions...? Then what?" the fisherman continued prodding.
The banker said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, go for romantic walks with your wife, and in the evenings you could sip wine, play guitar and sing songs with your friends!”
To which the fisherman mused, “Isn’t that what I’m doing now?”
It is human nature to desire to be successful. We all want success because we live in a world in which being successful is everything. But how do we measure success? Can a person have too much success? Are we going to spend years climbing to the top of the financial ladder only to find it is leaning against the wrong wall?
Ralph Waldo Emerson (an essayist, poet & philosopher) defined success in a simple life well lived as: To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and affection of children; To learn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a little bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
