A fisherman fishing again midday. There was a good day, and had caught three fish. When tied the boat and headed home, was approached by a man
- Good morning. I see you're a fisherman - said the man - Have you been a good catch?
- Yes. Now I went to my house to eat with my family and spending time with my children and my wife, and at night go to the bar to hang out with my friends and playing guitar.
- But do not come back to fish today? - The man asked, surprised.
- Why? And I have enough to eat. Fishing again tomorrow morning.
- Listen. You look like a good man, so I'll give you some advice. Turns out I have a Masters in Economics from the University Harvard, and I know some business deal. If you go fishing again today, in the afternoon will have three more fish, twice what it is now, and may sell in the market town.
- And why, why? - Asked the fisherman.
- Very simple. With the money from the sale, you can save up to have money to buy a new boat, it will be much better than it does today. That will allow you to catch even more fish.
- Yes, yes, but why would catch more fish?
- with more fish, make more money, and could hire others to fish with you, winning even more money if possible. At one point, could mount a small fleet.
The fisherman seemed confused:
- And why do I want a fleet?
- Do not you understand? With a fleet would win lots of money, so it could become a millionaire! Then with the money left, could mount branches in New York, Los Angeles, Osaka ...
- Why so many venues?
- To make even more money, man! - The economist will explain things patiently, as if talking to a 5 year old - then your company would take stock and increase its money, becoming billionaire!
- And all this, where do I take?
- Here comes the best part: when I was rich enough, he might retire, buy a house in a seaside village, spend time with his wife and children at night while going to the bar with his friends. If you wish, you can even play the guitar - the man seemed very pleased with his presentation.
The fisherman smiled, patted him on the shoulder to the economist and went to his home in the seaside village, to spend time with his wife and children, and evening go to the bar with friends while playing the guitar.
