Up on the coasts of Alaska, a native fisherman was approached by a regional development officer & was asked to take part in a business survey. On ascertaining that the fisherman only worked part time, he asked him what he did with the rest of his day.
"well, after catching enough to support my family I go home, spend some time with them, help cook a lovely meal & then in the evening catch up with friends, enjoying some music"
The RDO informed him of his degree/knowledge base & put this scenario to him:
"if you worked more hours you could soon buy a better boat, & in time stretch to fleet. You'd get higher returns & could maybe cut out the middle man & open a canning factory. Just think, you could move to Paris or New York & run things from there. "
The fisherman asked how long this would take. The reply was 10 to 15 years.
" what then" asked the fisherman.
The RDO then said " this is where life gets real interesting & you reap the rewards. You can slack back, go fishing, spend quality time with the family.........."
