In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, 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 doing what you like and enjoying your friends." "With  all  due  respect  sir,  but  that's exactly what I am doing now.  So what's the point wasting twenty twenty-five years?" asked the Mexican.And the moral is:Know where you're going in life... you may already be there</blockquote>
