A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village A tourist complimented the local fishermenon the quality of their fish and askedhow long it took him to catch them.
"Not very long." they answered in unisonWhy didn't you stay out longer and catch more?"The fishermen explained that their small catches weresufficient to meet their needs and those of their families
But what do you do with the rest of your time?"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 songsWe have a full life."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."
"And after that?"With the extra money the larger boat will bring,you can buy a second one and a third oneand 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 plantsand maybe even open your own plant.< /B>You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico Cit y , Los Angeles , or even New York City !From there you can direct your huge new enterprise.""How long would that take?""Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years." replied the tourist
"And after that?""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!""Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the fishermen."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 wifeand spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends.""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.And the moral of this story is:
Know where you're going in life....you may already be there!!
happy that you like this logic story...
yes sometimes the happiness is in front of us...and may we go to look for it in another place....
and as u said money is not everything in this hard life
having nice people in our life and good health....is more important than money
sitting behind the window in raining day with ur cup of coffee and looking through the window watching people runing .....with nice music ..mmmm these moments are precious to me ..more than money
.
or going out in spring to the nature ..watching wild flowers...
feeling the wind ......listening to the birds songs ..mmmm what do u think?
we can find much of the time to feel happy, can't we?
Oh dear Rose a very nice story with morals.
We have only one life so we have to live it the way we like not the way we should.
Money is important but not the most important thing in life losing time running after wealth and forgeting what is more important happiness !
Thank you Rosetta my friend.
Thank you Dear Rose!
Very true this story,I'm glad fishermen were wise enough to say no to the stupidtourist.
That's how the exploitation of mother Earh has begun,because of imbecile men,as this "tourist".....((
that's true...we often ignore what we have and end up in chasing for more and more not realising that how much our time, energy nad happiness is lost behind it....
a meaningful story..
Very entertaining really!
Life was so simple then. The story is an intergration of the past and the present life condition.
Thanks for sharing it with us. The images are great!
Good day!
