    History of a Fisherman

    At the edge of water in a small Mexican village, a boat returns to the port, containing several tunas.
    American compliments the Mexican fisherman on quality on his fish and asks him how long it was necessary for him to capture them.

    - "Not very a long time", the Mexican answers.

    - "But then, why don't be you not remained at sea longer to catch some more? "request American.

    The Mexican answers that these fish are enough to provide for the needs for its family.

    American asks then: "But what do you make the remainder of time? "

    - "I make the fatty morning, I fish a little, I play with the children, I make the nap with my wife. The evening, I to the village will see my friends. We drink wine and play of the guitar. I have a life filled well "

    American stops it: "I have a MBA of the university of Harvard and I can help you. You should start by fishing longer. With the released benefit, you could buy a second boat, and so on until you had a fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish with an intermediary, you could negotiate directly with the factory, and even open your own factory. You could then leave your small village for Mexico City City, Los Angeles, then perhaps New York, from where you would direct all your businesses "

    The Mexican asks: "How long that would it take? "

    - "15 to 20 years" answer American.

    - "And afterwards? "

    - "Afterwards, it is there that that becomes interesting," answers enthusiastic American. "When the moment comes, you will be able to introduce your company out of purse and you will gain million"

    - "million? But afterwards? "

    - "After, eh well you will be able to live a small village, to make the fatty morning, to fish a little, play with your little children, to make the nap with your wife. The evening, you will be able to go to the village to see your friends, to drink wine and to play of the guitar."

    histoire d'un pêcheur

    Au bord de l'eau dans un petit village mexicain, un bateau rentre au port,
    contenant plusieurs thons.
    Un américain complimente le pêcheur mexicain sur la qualité de ses poissons
    et lui demande combien de temps il lui a fallu pour les capturer.

    -" Pas très longtemps ", répond le mexicain.

    -" Mais alors, pourquoi n'êtes vous pas resté en mer plus longtemps pour
    en attraper plus? " demande l'américain.

    Le mexicain répond que ces poissons suffisent à subvenir aux besoins de sa
    famille.

    L'américain demande alors : " Mais que faites-vous le reste du temps? "

    -" Je fais la grasse matinée, je pêche un peu, je joue avec les enfants,
    je fais la sieste avec ma femme. Le soir, je vais au village voir mes amis.
    Nous buvons du vin et jouons de la guitare. J'ai une vie bien remplie. "

    L'américain l'interrompt : " J'ai un MBA de l'université de Harvard et je
    peux vous aider. Vous devriez commencer par pêcher plus longtemps. Avec les
    bénéfices dégagés, vous pourriez acheter un deuxième bateau, et ainsi de
    suite jusqu'à ce que vous possédiez une flotte de chalutiers.

    Au lieu de vendre vos poissons à un intermédiaire, vous pourriez négocier
    directement avec l'usine, et même ouvrir votre propre usine. Vous pourriez
    alors quitter votre petit village pour Mexico City, Los Angeles, puis peut-être
    New York, d'où vous dirigeriez toutes vos affaires. "

    Le mexicain demande : " Combien de temps cela prendrait-il? "

    -" 15 à 20 ans " répond l'américain.

    -" Et après? "

    -" Après, c'est là que ça devient intéressant, " répond l'américain enthousiaste.
    " Quand le moment sera venu, vous pourrez introduire votre société en bourse
    et vous gagnerez des millions. "

    -" Des millions? Mais après? "

    -" Après, eh bien vous pourrez habiter un petit village, faire la grasse
    matinée, pêcher un peu, jouer avec vos petits enfants, faire la sieste avec
    votre femme. Le soir, vous pourrez aller au village voir vos amis, boire
    du vin et jouer de la guitare. "
