Date : Sunday, January 13, 2008 Time : 8:46 PM let u all read something thought provoking... Harvard Gringo An American consultant was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, "Only a little while." The American then asked, "Why don't you stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said, "Well, I catch enough to feed my family." The American then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?" The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life, senor." The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard graduate and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise." The Mexican fisherman asked, "But senor, how long will this all take?" To which the American replied, "15-20 years." "But what then, senor?" The American laughed and said, "That's the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions." "Millions, senor? Then what?" The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos." Hmm.. i think that before you all read this, all of you may have even thought of this before right? i feel that american is merely going one big round. But perhaps you may feel the fun when you are earning big money. Maybe this will make you feel that you have lived your live to the fullest and you will be able to enjoy buying everything you like.. On the other hand, you'll have lesser time for you and your family. oh well, you yourself can choose. I had a quite fun and relaxing night yesterday. i walked from orchard to ps to bugis to city hall to esplanade to boat quay to clake quay which is my final destination. i was really happy to reach it.. haha.. i took photos along the way.. many have enough lighting until it looks like it is in the day. haha. i now know why is it so, because i've set the ISO to the highest 1600. -.- Right. I had a model with me through out the whole night. She was upset. I tried to comfort her but obviously i'm bad at it. haha. But luckily we met her friends at our last destination. They helped me. Somehow, i think it is the first time i feel okay with strangers around. haha. i think it was because i'm in a good mood yesterday. that is why. i reached home at 8am and slept until 7pm. Maybe i'll post up the photos. there is Work TML! sad.
