The Businessman and The Fisherman

What do you really hope to achieve in life?

Read this story and you may find that what you are
always hoping to achieve, you may be already have it.

There was once an American businessman who was sitting
by the beach in a small Mexican village. As he sat, he
saw a Mexican fisherman rowing a small boat towards
the shore and noticed that the fisherman has caught a
quite number of big fishes that is known to be a
delicacy. The American was really impressed and ask
the fisherman,
"How long does it take you to catch so many fishes?"

The fisherman reply; Oh, just a short while."

"Then why don't you stay longer at sea and you could
catch even more?" The businessman was astonished.

The fisherman simply does not agree, "This is enough
to feed my whole family?" he says.

The businessman then asked: " So, what do you do for
the rest of the day then ? "

The fisherman reply; "Well, I usually wake up early in
the morning, go out to sea and catch a few fishes,
then I would go back and play with my kids. In the
afternoon, I will take a nap with my wife, and evening
comes, I will join my buddies in the village for a
drink, we played guitar, sing and dance throughout the
night. My day was ever so complete and carefree.?"

The businessman does not agree with his way of life
and offered a suggestion to the fisherman.

"I am a PhD holder graduated from Harvard University,
specialises in business management. I could help you
to become a more successful person. From now on, you
have to spend more time at sea and try to catch as
many fishes as possible. And when you have save enough
money, you could buy a bigger boat and catch even more
fishes. As you go on, you will be able to afford to
buy more boats, recruit more fishermen and lead a team
of your own. Soon you will be able to set-up your own
company, your very own production plant for canned
food and do direct selling to your distributors. At
that time, you will have moved out of this village and
to Mexico city, and then expand your operation to LA,
and finally to New York city, where you can set-up
your HQ to manage all your other branches."

The fisherman asks, "So, how long would that take?"

The businessman reply: "About 15 to 20 years"

The fisherman continued, "And after that ?"

The businessman laugh heartily, " After that, you can
live like a king in your own house, and when the time
is right, you can go public and float your shares in
the Stock Exchange, by then you will be rich, your
income will be coming in by the millions!! "

The fisherman ask, " And after that ? "

The businessman says " After that, you can finally
retire, you can move to a house by the fishing
village, wake up early in the morning and catch a few
fishes, then return home to play with the kids, have a
nice afternoon nap with your wife, and when evening
comes, you can join your buddies for a drink, play the
guitar, sing and dance throughout the night!! "

The fisherman was puzzled, " Isn't that what I am
doing now ?? "

So, what does one really hope to achieve in life, do
we really need to work so hard in life? What do you
hope to accomplish in the end?
