On a Mexican beach, in a fishing hamlet, one day before lunchtime a tourist from America watched the fishermen go home and lower their fish catches. The fishermen then get ready to go home.
Then the American tourist asked one of the fishermen, "Oh sir, if you don't mind, may I ask what you did?" The fisherman replied, "Sir, I just came home from fishing. I am happy because today's fish catches can pay for our living needs, so I will now go home and have lunch with my wife, after lunch I will take a nap and in the afternoon later I will play with my children, then in the evening after dinner, maybe I will go to the shop, play guitar and have a relaxing drink with some friends, it is really nice "The American tourist then said," Sir, if you don't mind I want to give a little advice, I am a teaching professor of business courses at a famous university in America, I am currently on vacation, I want to give advice to help you.
What if you go to sea again after lunch later? Then you can catch fish that is twice the amount normally. You can get more money with that money in a few months. You can pay employees and add another boat, so that the number of fish you catch becomes four fold, in this way in 5 or 6 years. You can become a big owner of fleet owners. dozens of fishing boats.
After that you can move your company office to a big city and expand your business to other fields of business. As a Director of a large company, you can take a large salary, then register your company on the stock market and go public. capture more capital, then you buy back your shares so that the price goes up so that later you can sell all your shares at a higher price, after that you can retire comfortably, within fifty years you will definitely retire as a billionaire rich, I guarantee that because I am a professor of courses and very familiar with this matter "The Mexican fisherman listened very carefully and with respect.
At the end of the professor's presentation, he then asked," But sir, what will I do with a lot of money later? "
American professor was stunned for a while, strangely this professor had never thought of his business plan so far.
The only thing that comes to mind is how to make more money, but it never occurred to him what the money would be used for.
The professor then replied, "With that money you can retire later. Maybe you can vacation in a quiet and comfortable fishing village, like this village for example, you can buy a small boat and go fishing for fun in the morning and go home in the afternoon day for lunch with your wife.
Then you can take a nap and laze around or play with the kids, the evening you are free to go to a stall and have fun with your friends "The fisherman replied" But sir, isn't that all as I have done now? "
The professor then fell silent and lost his words.
Often that happens. many people want to be rich so that they can live like poor people, so money and wealth are not a measure of happiness, happiness is in the heart not how much we have money.
