Like the guy who sees a Mexican fisher returning to shore with a small catch and asks why he doesn’t stay out longer.

“I have enough to support my family, I fish a little, spend time with my children, and relax with my friends.”

The guy: “You could catch more, buy a bigger boat, then several boats. Build a fleet, open a cannery, and sell your fish to the world. Eventually, you’d make a fortune.”

“How long would that take?” asks the fisherman.

“Perhaps 15 or 20 years,” the guy replies. “Then you could retire to a small coastal village, sleep late, fish a little, spend time with your family, and enjoy your evenings with friends.”
