Once, one businessman stood on a pier in a small village and watched a fisherman sitting in a fragile boat as he caught a huge tuna.
The businessman congratulated the fisherman on his luck and asked how long it took to catch such a fish.
“A couple of hours, no more,” the fisherman answered.
“Why didn’t you stay in the sea longer and catch a few more of these fish?” – the businessman was surprised.
“One fish is enough for my family to live tomorrow,” he answered.
“But what do you do the rest of the day?” – the businessman did not let up.
– I sleep until noon, then go fishing for a couple of hours, then play with my children, after my wife and I have a siesta, then I go to the village for a walk, drink wine in the evening and play the guitar with my friends.
You see – I enjoy life, – the fisherman explained.
“You are strange,” said the businessman, “I will help you, you are doing everything wrong.” You have to fish all day and then buy yourself a big boat.
– And then what? – asked the fisherman.
“Then you will catch even more fish and you can buy yourself some boats, even ships, and one fine day you will have a whole flotilla.”
– And then?
– Then, instead of selling fish to an intermediary, you will bring fish directly to the factory and, increasing profits, you will open your own factory.
– And then?
“Then you will leave this god-forgotten village and move to a big city and maybe one day you can open a huge office and be a director there.”
“And how long will it take?”
– Years 15–20.
“And then what?”
“And then,” the businessman laughed, “then the most pleasant will come.” You can sell your company for several millions and become very rich.
– And then?
“Then you can stop working, you will move to a small village on the coast, you will sleep until noon, fish a bit, play with children, have a siesta with your wife, walk around the village, drink wine in the evenings and play the guitar with your friends …”
