Slide 3: A tourist complimented the local fishermen on the quality of their fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. "Not very long." they answered in unison. Slide 4: Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families. Slide 5: But what do you do with the rest of your time?" Slide 6: “We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children, and take siestas with our wives. In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs.” “We have a full life." Slide 7: The tourist 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." Slide 8: "And after that?" Slide 9: "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 ! Slide 10: From there you can direct your huge new enterprise." Slide 11: "How long would that take?" Slide 12: "Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years." replied the tourist. Slide 13: "And after that?" Slide 14: "Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting, " answered the tourist, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions! Slide 15: "Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the fishermen. Slide 16: "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." Slide 17: "With all due respect sir, but that's exactly what we are doing now. So what's the point wasting twenty-five years?" asked the Mexicans. Slide 18: And the moral of this story is: Know where you're going in life.... you may already be there!! You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
