Ang problema, lahat ng tao walang kasiyahan. Kahit siguro me 10M up na net assets ka, di ka pa rin makontento. Gusto mo, 10M dollars. Ako nga tumataya sa lotto parati para makatikim naman ng magandang tsikot, kaya lang, pag tumama ako, problema naman kung ano tsikot bibilhin ko, X5 kaya, or Ferrari?
Share ko lang tong story ng "The Mexican Fisherman":
"The Mexican Fisherman"
An American businessman 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 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, Senor."
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 friends."
The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You are
obviously a very talented guy. You should spend more time fishing. With
the proceeds, you could buy a bigger boat. Then with the proceeds from
the bigger boat you could buy several boats and eventually you would
have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a
middleman you would sell directly to the processor and eventually open
your own cannery. 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, "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 and sell your company stock to the
public and become very rich, you would make millions."
"Millions, Senor? 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 siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the
evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your friends."
