Businessman

and Fisherman

An American businessman took a vacation to a small coastal Mexican village on doctor’s orders. Unable to sleep after an urgent phone call from the office the first morning, he walked out to the pier to clear his head. A small boat with just one fisherman had docked, and inside the boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish.

“How long did it take you to catch them?” the American asked.

“Only a little while,” the Mexican replied in surprisingly good English.

“Why don’t you stay out longer and catch more fish?” the American then asked.

“I have enough to support my family and give a few to friends,” the Mexican said as he unloaded them into a basket.

“But… What do you do with the rest of your time?” The Mexican looked up and smiled. “I sleep late, fish

a little, play with my children, take a siesta with my wife, Julia, and 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 laughed and stood tall. “Sir, I’m a Harvard M.B.A. and can help you. You should spend more time fishing, and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. In no time, you could buy several boats with the increased haul. Eventually, you would have a fleet of fishing boats.”

He continued, “Instead of selling your catch to a middleman, you would sell directly to the consumers, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village, of course, and move to Mexico City, then to Los Angeles, and eventually to New York City, where you could run your expanded enterprise with proper management.

The Mexican fisherman asked, “But, senor, how long will all this take?”

To which the American replied, “15-20 years, 25 tops.”

“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?”

“Then you would retire and move to a small coastal fishing village, where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take a siesta with your wife, and stroll in to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”

NEWS IN BRIEF

GOVE SETS OUT ‘CORE KNOWLEDGE’

CURRICULUM PLANS

Pigeon racing has been introduced to the curriculum at a secondary school in Staffordshire.

For the next five years, Kingsmead Technology College in Hednesford will be running a pilot scheme to teach pupils about the traditional sport.

Teachers said they believed pigeon racing could also help with lessons in maths, physics, geography and biology.

As part of the project, pupils will enter pigeon races and other competitions.

Teacher and loft manager Richard Chambers said the benefits pigeon racing could give students at the 1,300-pupil school were “endless”.

Contours of the earth

Mr Chambers, who is a fourth-generation pigeon fancier, said: “I’ve been flying pigeons since I was about five years old and I know that value of it to me as a child.

“The benefits are absolutely endless - you go from maths, where they have to work out who’s going to win the race by calculating the velocities, to geography with looking at how the birds are going to travel home by using the contours of the earth.”

The birds have been donated to the school from pigeon fanciers from across England.

The Midlands National Flying Club has also backed the move to introduce racing at the school, saying it would help make the pastime more popular.

As part of the project, pupils from nearby primary schools also come to the secondary school to learn about the basics of pigeons and the sport of racing.
