Ian Bruce is a commercial fisherman, who leased a boat and hired a crew to fish for money. When he got his license, he bought his captain’s position. Every summertime, Bruce and his crew only fish salmon. The reason they just fish salmon is because there are huge numbers of salmon that come back to the same streams and rivers to spawn. This is an eternal ritual. Following this rule, Bruce and his team just wait for salmon by using big net. Even though waiting spends long time, it is a very easy work. However, the huge numbers of salmon also cause the lower price, so the best way to get profit is to make canned salmon to sell around the world. In addition, in the wintertime Bruce fishes crabs. It’s very dangerous fishing in this season, because there are many accidents and incredible conditions happen. Every winter, there are many miserable deaths. It’s very risky. Nevertheless, Bruce still likes his job to go out fishing. He thinks fishing is a hunting party that he can hunt whatever he wants, so that makes him feel great satisfy. It also brings him an open-minded and liberal feeling. He said that this job is one of the few blue-collar worker can feel proud, because in a fishing town, this job can control the economy. In addition, this job is good because it’s a profit sharing job that get paid percentage of the cash. Therefore, Bruce enjoys his job and promises that he will keep fishing as long as his physically can.
After I read this profile, I felt a little surprised about Bruce’s feeling about fishing. He is very enthusiastic about fishing. Although the condition in winter is very terrible, he said that he will never give up fishing until his body cannot allow him to fish. His mind encourages us that whatever we do, we should go ahead and not give up. We need to have high enthusiasm and be very patient that keep us to accomplish our goal even though there are challenges in the path.
