Islamic Stories, - The Fisherman

An investment banker was at the pier of a smallcoastal village when a
small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were
several large yellow fin tuna. The investment banker complimented the
fisherman on the qualityof his fish and asked how long it took to
catch them.
The fisherman replied,"Only a little while."
The investment banker then asked, "Why didn't you stay out longer and
catch more fish?"
The fisherman said,"With this I have more than enough to support my
family's needs."
The investment banker then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of
your time?"
The fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my
children, take siesta with my wife,stroll into the village each
evening and spend time with my family, I have a full and busy life."
The investment banker scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA 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 a big town and
eventually to the thecity where you will run your ever-expanding
enterprise."
The fisherman asked,"But, how long will this all take?"
To which the investmentbanker replied, "15 to 20years."
"But what then?" asked the fisherman.
The investment banker laughed and said that's the best part. "When the
time is right you would announce an IPO and sellyour company stock to
the public and become very rich, you would make millions."
"Millions?...Then what?"
The investment banker 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 theevenings and spend timewith your family." - - ▓███▓
