More Than Money: 'The Good Life' Parable

What are you going to do with your lucky lottery ticket? That's a question every MBA faces. A lot of time and money has been invested in you, and once you graduate you're supposed to cash that ticket in for as much money and status as you can. Your parents and peers expect it. And you may feel that there's really no other choice. You can't risk wasting that expensive education. It's the safe thing to do. Isn't it?

Mark Albion doesn't think so. In "The Good Life", a movie by FreeRange Graphics, Mark takes you to a chance meeting between an MBA and a fisherman on a small island. As the MBA tries to teach the fisherman about business, the fisherman teaches him about life.:toast:

2. This is a take-off from a story

that was circulating quite some years ago. The punch line in that version was after being told what he could do upon "retirement as a millionaire," the fisherman quipped, "I'm already doing ALL THAT NOW."
