Quality of Life
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, Senor."
The American then asked, "Why didn't you 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."
