Let me share with you a story I received via E-mail:

                         The American investment banker was 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 yellow fin tuna. The American complimented the
                         Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.

                         The Mexican replied, "Only a little while."

                         The American then asked, "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more
                         fish?"

                         The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs.

                         The American then asked, "But 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 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."

                         The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should
                         spend more time fishing, and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. 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 processor, eventually opening your
                         own cannery. You would control the 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, how long will this all take?"

                         To which the American replied, "15-20 years."

                         "But what then?"

                         The American laughed and said that's the best part. "When the time is right,
                         you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and
                         become very rich. you would make millions!"

                         "Millions.. Then what?"

                         The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing
                         village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take
                         siestas with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could
                         sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."
