Motivating Moral Story - FisherMan and a BusinessMan

This is a Motivating Moral Story of a FisherMan who lived in the village enjoying life.

A businessman went to a fishing village. A small boat with just one fisher man docked with a few large tuna. The man complimented the fisher man on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The fisher man said “only a little while.”

The businessman then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish. The fisherman said that he had enough to support his family's immediate needs. The businessman then asked the fisherman, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

The fisherman said to the businessman, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life."

The businessman started advising the fisher man, "I am a Harvard MBA. You should spend more time fishing and buy a bigger boat with the proceeds and then have a fleet of fishing boats, selling your catch directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery."

The businessman continued, "You would need to move to a City, where you will run your expanding enterprise. After about 15-20 years when the time is right you would sell your company stock to the public and become very rich”.

The fisherman asked the businessman “Then what?" The business man's answer was, "Then you would retire, move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."

The fisherman said in reply to the businessman, "Sir, that is what I am doing already."
