10/08/2014 Three Wishes There were three men out sailing, when it began to storm. Their boat was wrecked by the storm, and washed up on a deserted Island. They started to walk along the beach and found a bottle. They picked it up and began rubbing the sand off, when all of a sudden, a genie popped out. The Genie said "Since you have released me from the bottle, I will grant each of you one wish." The first man said, "I really miss my wife and grandchildren. I wish I were back home." Poof! He was gone. The second man said, "This is great! I wish I were in Hawaii on the beach, with a good hot meal to eat." Poof! He was gone, too! The third man looked around and said, "You know, it's lonely around here, I really miss those guys." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- News Flash: A ship carrying a cargo of red paint has collided with a ship carrying a cargo of purple paint. Last radio contact confirmed that both crews were marooned. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What a life The American businessman was at the pier of a small South Pacific Island village when a small fishing vessel, with just one fisherman, docked. Inside the hold of the small boat were several large grouper. The American complimented the Islander on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Islander replied, "Only a little while." The American then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish? The Islander said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs. The American 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 a late afternoon nap with my wife Helia, stroll into the village each evening, where I sip rum and play guitar with my friends, I have a full and busy life." The American scoffed, "I have an 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 could have a fleet of your own fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you could sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You could then leave this small fishing village and move to Australia, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise." The South Seas fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?" To which the American replied, "15-20 years." "But what then?" 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, really? Then what?" The American said, "You could then retire, and move to a small fishing village where you could sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take a late afternoon nap with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings, and sip rum and play your guitar with your friends." ![]() You may also access this article through our web-site http://www.lokvani.com/ |
