The businessman and the traveler: This story will blow your mind 🤯
Once upon a time, there was a weary traveler who sat down on a bench in a busy business district. He pulled out paper and pen and began to sketch the scene in front of him.
A businessman on his lunch break rushes by, but stops when he sees the incredible drawing. He has never seen anything like it before!
He stops the traveler and says, "Why do you live in the streets? With this art you could be rich!"
The traveler pauses and replies, "Please tell me more".
B: "Well, if you made 10 drawings you could frame them and sell them for good money", the businessmen is excited to help the traveler.
T: "What then?"
B: "With that money you can buy a printer. If you make prints of the drawings you can sell many and make even more money."
T: "What then?"
B: "With that money you could hire other artists and build an artist studio and make even more money!"
T: "What then?"
B: "Well then, you can make investments, become financially free, retire and then do whatever you want!"
The traveler smiles and says, "Sir, every day I wake up and do what I want to do. Why should I go through all the years of doing something I don't want to do, so that I can do what I am already doing?"
He turns back to his drawing and happily carries on.
P.S. This is my own take on a traditional story - made for travelers.
