A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.

"Not very long," answered the Mexican.

"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American.

The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.

The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life."

The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard 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 Mexican.

"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 Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."

"How long would that take?" asked the Mexican.

"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American.

"And after that?"

"Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"

"Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the Mexican.

"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 drinking and enjoying your friends."

And the moral of this story is: ......... Know where you're going in life... you may already be there.

I think you can learn as much about a person from what they aren't and what they don't do as from what they are and what they do.
I don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs. I don't believe in sex before marriage. I don't like lies or the people who tell them. I don't drink coke or pepsi, and I don't like coffee. I don't like math. I'm not tall, but I'm not that short. I'm not all that special. I'm not very athletic, but I do like sports. I'm a good student but I don't like school much.
I try to be honest as much as possible. I don't lie, just don't always tell the whole story to everyone. Sometimes it's none of their business. I like to talk. I also like to listen. If you ever feel like venting to someone random, I'm here.
I love to write. I love drawing, singing, playing soccer and hanging out with friends. Photography architecture design are my passion and I really need to get myself a better camera, Music is also a major part of my life, but more listening and appreciating than creating.
I smile a lot. Almost all the time. People rarely notice when I'm unhappy, because then they get unhappy and that just makes me feel worse. I like positive people, positive energy, and things going how they should.
I don't hate anyone. I occasionally dislike people, but even then I will always be there for them if they need me. I'm often a human punching bag, because I know I can take it, so I let angry people become less angry without hurting anyone unnecessarily.
I'm way more scared of hurting people than I am of being hurt. Other people's pain causes me pain. I know my weaknesses, my limits, but I don't know theirs. I can always fix myself, but I can't fix them.
I see things differently from most people. That's something I took a long time to realize. Things have different colours for me. I can put myself in other people's shoes fairly easily, but then I have to carry their baggage, too. I am good at mediating other people's problems, because I can see the obvious solutions that aren't obvious to anyone else, but I'm terrible when I'm the one in a fight. I get defensive too easily, I can be a real monster ...i don't think so , and generally, when someone's mad at you, telling them something is obvious doesn't go too well.
I'm a complicated person because I try too hard to be simple. All I really want is to be understood. thanks to "[link]"
