The Mexican replied, only a little while.

  The American then asked why didn't he 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 amigos, I have a full and busy life."

  The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help
  you.  You should spend more time fishing and with the
  proceeds, buy a bigger boat with the proceeds from the
  bigger boat you could buy several boats, eventually you
  would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your
  catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the
  processor, eventually opening 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, "But, how long will this all
  take?"

  To which the American replied, "15-20 years."

  "But what then?"

  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..  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 amigos."
