An
American businessman was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a
small boat whith 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 he didn't stay out longer and catch more fish. The
Mexican said he had enought to support his family's immediate needs. The
American then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?" The

and move to Mexico City, then LA, and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding
enterprise. The Mexican fisherman asked, "But senor,

announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich,
you would make millions!" "Millions, senor? And
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 a siesta with your wife, and stroll to the
village in the evenings to sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos...
