A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist
complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and
asked how long it took him to catch them. "Not very long," answered
the Mexican. "But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch
more?" asked the American. The Mexican explained that his small catch
was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family. The American
asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta
with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my
friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I
have a full life." The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard
and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You
can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you
can buy a bigger boat."

"And after that?" asked the Mexican. With the extra money the larger
boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on
until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your
fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the
processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then
leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or
even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."

"How long would that take?" asked the Mexican. "Twenty, perhaps
twenty-five years," replied the American. "And after that?"
"Afterwards? Well my Friend, That's when it gets really interesting,"
answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big,
you can start selling
stocks and make millions!"

"Millions? Really? And after that?" said the Mexican.
"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the
coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with
your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."

Moral of the story:

Know where you're going in life... you may already be there.
