"Thees feesh feels familiar - no?"
There’s a fabulous story in the 4 Hour Work Week – where a Harvard MBA is vacationing in Mexico and sees a guy bringing in a few fish in his boat – working just a couple hours in the morning.
See my fun video about the Mexican Fisherman Story
The man reports that this is enough to feed his family, sell the rest for what he needs, fool around with his wife in the afternoon, and go play guitar and have a couple beers with his friends in the evening. He is satisfied.
The MBA lays out a plan where the guy would work harder, grow to a fleet of fishing vessels, make so much money he’d move to New York, go public, and finally after 20 years sell out for millions.
“What would I do then? Asked the Mexican fisherman.
“Well,” says the MBA, “you could retire to a little fishing village in Mexica, fish a little, fool around with your wife and in the evening go into town and play guitar with your friends…”
I’m hardly the picture of altruism or character – but I’m not in this to make a million dollars.
“The eye is never filled with seeing.
The ear is never filled with hearing.
And he who loves money will never have enough.”
The Bible
It’s your life – do what makes you happy – and start now. IMHBAO
