The American dream
An American businessman
was standing at the pier 
of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat 
with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin 
tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish. "How long did it take you to catch them?" the American asked.
"Only a little while" the Mexican replied.
"Why don't you stay out longer and catch more fish?" the American then asked.
"I have enough to support my family's immediate needs" the Mexican said.
"But" the American then asked, "What do you do with the rest of your time?"
The Mexican fisherman said: "I sleep
late, fish 
a little, play with my 
children, take a siesta with my 
wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar 
with my amigos. I have a full and busy life, senor." The American scoffed: "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing
and with the proceeds you could buy a bigger boat 
and, with the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several 
boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing 
boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman, you would sell directly to the 
consumers, eventually opening your own can 
factory. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise." The Mexican fisherman asked: "But senor, how long will this all take?"
To which the American replied: "15-20 years."
"But what then, senor?"
The American laughed and said: "That's the best part. When the time is right, you would announce an IPO - an Initial Public Offering - and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You would make
millions." "Millions, senor? Then what?"
The American said slowly: "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late
, fish 
a little, play with your 
kids, take a siesta with your 
wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar 
with your amigos..."
