人的一生,到底在追求什么

人的一生,到底在追求什么

有一个美国商人坐在墨西哥海边一个小渔村的码头上,看着一个墨西哥渔夫划着一艘小船靠岸。

小船上有好几尾大黄鳍鲔鱼,这个美国商人对墨西哥渔夫能抓这么高档的鱼恭维了一番,还问他要多少时间才能抓这么多?

墨西哥渔夫说:“才一会儿功夫就抓到了。”

美国人再问:“你为什么不待久一点,好多抓一些鱼?”

墨西哥渔夫觉得不以为然: “这些鱼已经足够我一家人生活所需啦!”

美国人又问:“那么你一天剩下那么多时间都在干什么?”

墨西哥渔夫解释:“我呀!我每天睡到自然醒,出海抓几条鱼,回来后跟孩子们玩一玩,再跟老婆睡个午觉,黄昏时晃到村子里喝点小酒,跟哥儿们玩玩吉他,我的日子可过得充满又忙碌呢!”

美国人不以为然,帮他出主意,他说:“我是美国哈佛大学企管硕士,我倒是可以帮你忙!你应该每天多花一些时间去抓鱼,到时候你就有钱去买条大一点的船。自然你就可以抓更多鱼,在买更多渔船。然后你就可以拥有一个渔船队。到时候你就不必把鱼卖给鱼贩子,而是直接卖给加工厂。然后你可以自己开一家罐头工厂。如此你就可以控制整个生产、加工处理和行销。然后你可以离开这个小渔村,搬到墨西哥城,再搬到洛杉矶,最后到纽约。在那经营你不断扩充的企业。”

墨西哥渔夫问:“这又花多少时间呢?”

美国人回答:“十五到二十年。”

墨西哥渔夫问:“然后呢?”

美国人大笑着说:“然后你就可以在家当皇帝啦!时机一到,你就可以宣布股票上市,把你的公司股份卖给投资大众。到时候你就发啦!你可以几亿几亿地赚!”

墨西哥渔夫又问:“然后呢?”

美国人说:“到那个时候你就可以退休啦!你可以搬到海边的小渔村去住。每天睡到自然醒,出海随便抓几条鱼,跟孩子们玩一玩,再跟老婆睡个午觉,黄昏时,晃到村子里喝点小酒,跟哥儿们玩玩吉他!”

墨西哥渔夫疑惑的说:“我现在不就是这样了吗?”
