Hmmmmm
A successful businessman was taking a much needed vacation in the Dominican Republic. While walking the beach, he came across a local resident laying in a hammock. Striking up a conversation the businessmen asked the Dominican what he did for a living. The man replied that he was a fisherman... that he caught enough fish to feed his family, plus sell some in the local markets.
The businessman asked him if he was a good fisherman, to which the Dominican replied, "Yes, the best in my town."
The businessman, then started thinking and replied, "The you should buy several boats, teach your skill to other men in your town, and have them work for you. You could make alot of money! In fact, if you worked hard, you could grow your business and have a fleet of boats. You could supply fish to the entire island. And, if you really apply yourself, you could supply fish to the entire east coast of the United States."
The Dominican thought about this and asked, "If I do all you suggest, how long would it take me to build such a business, and then what would I do with all my money?".
The buisnessman replied, " If you work really hard, you could build your fleet in maybe 20 or 30 years, and the money? You could take a vacation once or twice a year, go to a beautiful island, and lay in a hammock."
