    Some Anecdote:

    "An indigenous resident in a southern resort lies under a palm tree in his homeland, resting. A businessman from Europe walks by.

    – Here you are, lying around, but you could climb a palm tree and pick bananas. Go to the market and sell.

    – And why?

    – Well, why! With the money from what you’ve sold, you’ll buy a cart and you’ll get a lot more!

    – But why?

    – Yes, you can already buy a truck from what you’ve sold and carry large volumes, then hire workers, and you’ll lie there and do nothing!

    – And I’m already lying there and doing nothing :)"

    No offense intended. It’s just important not to get hung up on the one point of view for to long. :)
