A fisherman is sitting on the pier, soaking his fishhook into the sea.
He's been sitting there for the last two hours, but he has only caught a small fish.
Then a rich businessman comes by, a man with a big factory and 150 employees.
Fisherman, what are you doing, asks the rich businessman.
I am fishing, he replies.
But you know how you could catch more fish right?
How?
You could buy a boat and go out to the open sea.
There, you could fish with a net and catch many fish.
Sounds good. And then, what?
You could sell the fish.
Sounds like a great idea, but what would I do with the money then?
You could invest it and build your own fishing industry.
People from all over the world would be buying your products.
Yes, yes, but that means more work, more worries...
But more importantly, it means more money.
You could buy a lot with that money.
You are right, but I still don't understand you. What would I buy?
Different things. Most of all, time.
The more money you have, the more time you have.
That is correct. But what do you do with all that time?
That's something amazing. It is great having time so you can do exactly what you want,
what you like doing and what you enjoy doing.
But you see, I am doing that already.
I am sitting here, peacefully fishing, replied the fisherman and smiled pleasantly.
