Ok I am not sure if this is exactly the way this story goes, but I thought it was kind of amuzing.

"One day a wallstreet investment banker is vacationing in a small fishing village in Mexico, and he comes upon a local fisherman with two large yellow fin tunas in his small fishing boat.

The investment banker says to the fisherman "Wow those are nice tuna, how long were you out?"

The fisherman replies "oh not long"

The investment banker curious asks "Why didn't you stay out longer so you could catch more fish?"

The firsherman replies "I have enough to cover my family for a little while, and that is all I need."

The investment banker then asks "Well, what do you do with the rest of your time?"

The fisherman says "Well, I sleep late, fish a little, play with my kids, take siesta with my wife, and at night go to the local tavern and play guitar with my amigos."

The investment banker replies "See, what you need to do is fish more. The you could sell the surplus fish to the market and make enough money to get a bigger boat. With the bigger boat you could catch more fish, and eventually have several boats. Then you can hire people and sell directly to the producer. Then eventually you can open your own cannery and corner the tuna market. Then eventually you will announce to all of your executives that you are selling off all of your shares in your corporation, and you will be a millionaire."

The fisherman curiously asks "And how long will that take?"

The investment banker replies "About 15 to 20 years."

The fisherman says "Then what do I do?"

The investment banker replies "Well, this is the best part. Then you retire to a small fishing village in Mexico, sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, and at night go to the local tavern and play guitar with you amigos."
