A choice to make for some of us...
An American businessman
was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small
boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were
several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican
on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch
them.
The Mexican replied only a little while.
The American then asked why didn't he
stay out longer and catch more fish?
The Mexican said he had enough to support
his family's immediate needs.
The American then asked, but what do
you do with the rest of your time?
The Mexican fisherman
said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take
siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening
where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full
and busy life, senor."
The American scoffed,
"I am a Harvard MBA and could 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 Mexico City, then LA and eventually
NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise."
The Mexican fisherman asked, "But senor,
how long will this all take?"
To which the American replied, "15-20
years."
"But what then, senor?"
The American 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, senor? Then what?"
The American said, "Then
you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where
you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take
siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where
you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."
