The meaning of life

A ship moored in Mexico, near a small fishing village. Tourist fell off the boat and complimented the quality of products and asked they how long it takes to catch those fish.

- Not very long, fishermen responded in the same voice.

- But why have not remained at sea longer, to bring more fish?

Fishermen have replied that they catch small quantities are sufficient for their needs and their families.

- And what do the rest of the time? He asked the tourist.

- We sleep late, play with our children and we do siesta along with our wives. Later in the evening, we go to the village, where we meet friends, drink less, play the guitar a few songs and then go back to rest .... We have a full life.

The tourist interrupted him,

- Wait! I graduated from Harvard, I have a degree in economics and can help you! You have more time to fish every day. In this way you will have more fish than your needs and you can sell the fish they catch more. With the additional income, you can buy a bigger boat.

- And after that? asked fishermen.

- With additional money that will bring them the boat, you could buy a second and a third boat and so on, until you have a whole fleet. Instead of selling the fish to a middleman, you could negotiate directly with the processing plants can even build your own factory. Then you can leave this tiny little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York! From there you will be able to lead the new enterprise thrives.

- And about how long it would take? asked fishermen.

- Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years, replied the tourist.

- And after that?

- After that? Well, my friend, that's when it becomes really interesting, "answered the tourist grinning widely. When your business is really huge, you can start to buy and sell assets and make millions of dollars!

- Millions? Seriously? And after that? asked fishermen.

- After that, you'll be able to retire from business, to live in a quiet village and secluded beachfront to sleep late, play with your children, you take siesta with their wives and spend your evenings with friends and fooling how you want.

- Sir, that's exactly what we do now. What's the point of wasting twenty-five years? asked Mexicans ...
