LIFE.......GIVE IT A THOUGHT!!!

> A boat docked in a tiny Goan village. A tourist from Mumbai complimented
> the Goan fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took
> him to catch them.
>
> "Not very long," answered the fisherman.
> "But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the
> Mumbaite.
>
> The Goan fisherman explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet
> his needs and those of his family.
>
> The Mumbaite interrupted, "I have an MBA from IIM-A, and I can help you!
> You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra
> fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."
>
> "And after that?" asked the Goan.
>
> "With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one
> and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers.
> Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate
> directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant.
> You can then leave this little village and move to Panjim, or even Mumbai.
> From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."
>
> "How long would that take?" asked the Goan.
>
> "Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the Mumbaite.
>
> "And after that?"
> "Afterwards? Well my Friend, That's when it gets really interesting,"
> chuckled the Mumbaite, "When your business gets really big, you can start
> selling stocks and make millions!"
>
> "Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the Goan.
>
> "After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the
> coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a
> siesta with your wife and spend your evenings doing what you like with
> your buddies."
>
> "With all due respect sir, but that's exactly what I am doing now. So
> what's the point wasting 25 years?" asked the Goan.
>
> And the moral of the story is? Know where you're going in life. You may
> already be there.
> Life in the present world is indeed a rat race. Many who have
> qualifications from reputed universities too do not know where they are
> going in life.
> Give it a serious thought, and please don't forget to take charge of your
> family & health before you take charge of your money..
