An investment banker stood on the pier in a small Mexican fishing village and watched a small fishing boat dock with a fisherman on board. He had loaded some huge tuna.
The banker congratulated the Mexican on his magnificent catch and asked how long it would have taken him.
The Mexican replied: 'Just a few hours. Not long."
The banker then asked why he hadn't stayed at sea any longer to catch more.
The Mexican said the fish would be enough to feed his family for the next few days.
The banker in turn asked: "But what do you do with the rest of the day?"
The Mexican fisherman stated:
«I sleep late in the morning, go fishing a bit; play with my kids, take a siesta with my wife Maria after lunch, walk into the village and have a glass of wine there and play guitar with my friends. You see, I have a full life.The banker stated:
"I'm a Harvard graduate and I could help them a bit. They should spend more time fishing and buy a bigger boat with the proceeds.
With the proceeds from this, in turn, you could buy several boats until you have a whole fleet.
Instead of selling the catch to a trader, you could sell it directly to a fish factory and eventually open your own fish processing factory.
You could control production, processing and sales yourself.
You could then leave this little fishing village and move to Mexico City or Los Angeles and maybe even New York City from where you can run your thriving business."The Mexican asked: "And how long will all this last?"
The banker replied: "About 15 to 20 years."
The Mexican asked: "And then what?"
The banker laughed and said:
"Then comes the best. When the time is right, they could go public with their company; sell their parts of the company and become very rich. You could make millions."The Mexican said, "Millions. And then?"
The banker said:
'Then you could stop working. You could move to a small fishing village on the coast, sleep in late in the morning, go fishing a little, play with your kids, take a siesta with your wife, stroll into the village, sip wine in the evening and play guitar with your friends. »
that's awesome, really !!!!
