Sitting on the dock of the Bay…..
The American Millionaire (JT Walsh) sat on the docks next to the Mexican fisherman (Cheech Marin) as he tied his nets....
What’ll you do now?
Well I’ll tie up things here on the boat – take my catch to market – go home early afternoon and play with my kids – enjoy my wife’s cooking
Nah, Nah, Nah – you don’t want to do that – you want to work the rest of the morning – catch more fish and spend the whole afternoon in the market and let your wife take care of the kids.... tell me my twirly mustached munchachou - what else you do with your day?
Well after my wife and I eat, I go to the bar play guitar and drink Tequila with my friends
Nah Nah Nah – you don’t want to do that – you want to go jogging – do some exercise get to bed early – alcohol is really bad for you – your friends are holding you back
Really?
Yeah – look here’s what you should be doing Ok? You make enough money at the market to hire another guy to run the stall – then you get back in that boat and do some more fishing for the whole of the day instead of only the morning
Uh-huh
Yeah then when you double your loads for the day you save up enough to buy another boat and hire another guy to go fish using it – take the catch to the market – pay him a wage
Oh really
Yeah and then you work towards getting a whole bunch of boats – all working for you – and all bringing the catch to the market – but there aint enough room anymore
There isn’t ?
Nah – so you gotta own the market – buy all the stalls
All of them?
Yeah and then you start getting refrigerated vans to run around – sell home delivery – start supplying fishmongers within the drive range – get all the ordering set up on the internet
Uh-huh – what’ll happen then?
Well then you start selling to super markets across Mexico
And then?
Then you go international – selling to the big U S of A,‘cross the pond
And then?
Well by then your company is running the show as far as Mexican fish goes – you got the boats, the markets, the vans, the supermarkets and the international name building a reputation – so you put that company in the big leagues – stocks and shares
Well then what?
Well then you sell my little slightly toasted Mexican friend – you sell all the shares and walk away with a fortune
Uh-huh – sounds like a lot of work – guess I’ll be pretty tired by the end of it all – what happens once the company is sold?
Well my little burrito chomping compadre, then you can do a bit of fishing, spend some time playing with your kids, put them to bed, eat a good meal with your wife, maybe get that guitar of yours and go play some tunes down at the bar, drinking tequila with your friends……

Well I’ll be running a bar - but a lot of other things too - and won’t have the money / time to be drunk all the time - in fact the reason most of the places up there fail is because they are run by drunks and stoners xx

I will give best shot to do an article on how good enough school is and perhaps some resources were scholars can pursue their dreams and get supreme essay writing.
