Inside the<br \/>\nsmall boat were several large yellowfin tuna.<\/p>\n<p>The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and<br \/>\nasked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, &#8222;only a<br \/>\nlittle while.&#8220; The American then asked why didn\u2019t he stay out longer<br \/>\nand catch more fish? The Mexican said he had enough to support his<br \/>\nfamily\u2019s immediate needs.<\/p>\n<p>The American then asked, &#8222;But what do you do with the rest of your<br \/>\ntime?&#8220; The Mexican fisherman said, &#8222;I sleep late, fish a little, play<br \/>\nwith my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the<br \/>\nvillage each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos.<br \/>\nI have a full and busy life, senor.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>The American scoffed, &#8222;I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You<br \/>\nshould spend more time fishing and with the proceeds buy a bigger<br \/>\nboat, with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several<br \/>\nboats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of<br \/>\nselling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the<br \/>\nprocessor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the<br \/>\nproduct, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this<br \/>\nsmall coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and<br \/>\neventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>The Mexican fisherman asked, &#8222;But senor, how long will this all take?&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>To which the American replied, &#8222;15 or 20 years.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;But what then, senor?&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>The American laughed and said, &#8222;that\u2019s the best part. When the time is<br \/>\nright you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the<br \/>\npublic and become very rich, you would make millions.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;Millions, senor? Then what?&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>The American said, &#8222;Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal<br \/>\nvillage where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your<br \/>\nkids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the<br \/>\nevenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your<br \/>\namigos.&#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gefunden bei den Diskussionen \u00fcber den DOW-JONES bei Google Finance, der heute ein neues historisches Tief erreicht hat.
