The Investor and the Fisherman

 The American investment banker 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 yellow fin 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."
 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, how long will this all take?"
 To which the American replied, "15-20 years."
 "But what then?"
 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..  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."
