The Parable Of The Pipeline

ONCE UPON A TIME LONG LONG AGO, two ambitious young cousins name Pablo and Bruno lived side by side in a small Italian village.

The young men were best buddies and big dreamers. They would talk endlessly about how some day, some way, they would become the richest men in the village. They were both bright and hard working. All they need was an opportunity.

One day that opportunity arrived. The village decided to hire the two men to carry water from a nearby river to a cistern in the town square. The job went to Pablo and Bruno. Each man grabbed two buckets and headed to the river. By the end of the day, they had filled the town cistern to the brim. The village elder paid them one penny for each bucket of water.

“This is our dream come true!” shouted Bruno. “I can’t believe our good fortune.”

But Pablo wasn’t so sure. His back ached and his hands were blistered from carrying the heavy buckets. He dreaded getting u pand going to work the next morning. He vowed to think of a better way to getting the water from the river to thevillage.

Pablo, the Pipeline Man
“Bruno, I have a plan,” Pablo said the next morning as they grabbed their buckets and headed for the river.

“Instead of lugging buckets back and forth for pennies a day, let’s build a pipelinefrom the river to the village.”

Bruno stopped dead in his tracks.

“A pipeline! Whoever heard of such a thing?” Bruno shouted.

“We’ve got a great job, Pablo. Ican carry 100 buckets a day. At a penny a bucket, that’s a dollar a day! I’m rich! By the end of the week, I can buy a new pair of shoes. By the end of the month, a cow. By the end of the six months, Ican build a new hut. We have the best job in town. We have weekends off and two weeks’ paidvacation every year. We’re set for life! Get out of here with your pipeline.”

But Pablo was not easily discouraged. He patiently explained the pipeline plan to his best friend. Pablo would work part of the day carrying buckets and then part of the day and weekends building his pipeline. He knew it would be hard work digging a ditch in the rocky soil. Because he was paid by the bucket, he knew it his income would drop at first.

He also knew it would take a year, possibly two, before his pipeline would start to pay big dividends.

But Pablo believed in his dream, and he went back to work. Bruno and the rest of the villagers began mocking Pablo, calling him “Pablo the Pipeline Man.”

Bruno, who was earning almost twice as much money as Pablo, flaunted his new purchases. He bought a donkey outfitted with a new leather saddle, which he kept parked outside his new two storey hut. He bought flashy clothes and fancy meals in the inn. The villagers called him Mr. Bruno, and they cheered when he bought rounds at the tavern and laughed loudly at his jokes.

Small Actions Equal Big Results
While Bruno lay in his hammock on evenings and weekends, Pablo kept digging his pipeline. The first few months Pablo didn’t have much to show for his efforts. The work was hard – even harder than Bruno’s because Pablo was working evenings and weekends, too.

But Pablo kept reminding himself that tomorrow’s dreams are built on today’s sacrifices.

Day by day he dug, an inch at a time.“Inch by inch it’s a cinch,” he chanted to himself as he swung his pick ax into the rocky soil.

Inches turned into one foot… then 10 feet… then 20… 100…

“Short-term pain equals long-term gain,” he reminded himself as he stumbled into his humble hut exhausted from another day’s work.

He measured his success by setting and meeting his daily goals, knowing that, over time, the results would far exceed his efforts.

“Keep your eyes on the prize,” he repeated over and over as he drifted off to sleep accompanied by the sounds of laughter from the village tavern.

“Keep your eyes on the prize…”

The Tables Are Turned
Days turned into months. One day Pablo realized his pipeline was halfway finished, which meant he only had to walked half as far to fill up his buckets! Pablo used the extra time to work on his pipeline. The completion date was advancing faster and faster.

During his rest breaks, Pablo watched his old friend Bruno lug buckets. Bruno’s shoulders were more stooped than ever. He was hunched in pain, his steps slowed by the daily grind. Bruno was angry and sullen, resenting the fact that he was doomed to carry buckets, day in and day out, for the rest of his life. He began spending less time in his hammock and more time in the tavern.

When the tavern’s patron saw Bruno coming, they’d whisper, “Here comes Bruno the Bucket Man,” and they giggle when the town drunk mimicked Bruno’s stooped posture and shuffling gait. Bruno didn’t buy rounds or tell jokes anymore, preferring to sit alone in a dark corner surrounded by empty bottles.

Finally, Pablo’s big day arrived – the pipeline was complete!

The villagers crowded around asthe water gushed out from the pipeline into the village cistern! Now that the village head a steady supply of water, people from the surrounding countryside moved into the village, and it grew and prospered.

Once the pipeline was Pablo didn’t have to carry buckets anymore. The water flowed whether he worked or not. It flowed while he ate. It flowed while he slept. It flowed on the weekends when he played. The more water flowed into the village, the more the money flowed into Pablo’s pockets!

Pablo the Pipeline Man became known as Pablo the Miracle Maker. Politicians lauded him for his vision and begged him to run for mayor. But Pablo understood that what he had accomplished wasn’t a miracle. It was merely the first stage of a big, big dream.

You see, Pablo had plans that reached far beyond his village. Pablo planned to build pipelines all over the world!

Recruiting His Friend to Help
The pipeline drove Bruno the Bucket Man out of business, and it pained Pablo to his old friend begging for free drinks in the tavern. So, Pablo arranged a meeting with Bruno.

“Bruno, I’ve come here to ask you for your help.”

Bruno straightened his stooped shoulders, and his dark eyes narrowed to a squint. “Don’t mock me,” Bruno hissed.

“I haven’t come here to gloat,” said Pablo. “I’ve come here to offer you a great business opportunity. It took me more than two years before my first pipeline was complete. But I’ve learned alot during this two years! I know what tools to use. Where to dig. How to lay the pipe. I kept notes as I went along, and I’ve developed a system that will allow me to build another pipeline… and then another… and another.”

“I could build a pipeline a year by myself. But that would not be the best use of my time. What I plan to do is to teach you and others how to build a pipeline… and then have you teach others…and have each of them to teach others… until there is a pipeline to every village in the region… then a pipeline in every village in the country… and eventually a pipeline in every village in the world!”

“Just think,” Pablo continued, “we could make a small percentage of every gallon of water that goes through these pipelines. The more water flows through the pipelines, the more money will flow into our pockets. The pipeline I built isn’t the end of a dream. It’s only the beginning!”

Pipeline Dreams in a Bucket Carrying World
Years passed. Pablo and Bruno had long since retired. Their worldwide pipeline business was still pumping millions of dollars a year into their bank accounts. Sometimes on their trips throughout the countryside, Pablo and Bruno would pass young men carrying water buckets. The childhood friends would pull over and tell the young men their story and offer to help them build their pipeline. A few would listen and jump at the opportunity to start a pipeline business.

But sadly, most bucket carriers would hastily dismiss the notion of a pipeline. Pablo and Bruno heard the same excuses over and over.

“I don’t have the time.”
“My friend told me he knew a friend of a friend who tried to build a pipeline and failed.”
“Only the ones who get in early make money on pipelines.”
“I’ve carried buckets all my life. I’ll stick with what I know.”
“I know some people who lost money in a pipeline scam. Not me.”

It made Pablo and Bruno sad that so many people lacked vision. But both men resigned themselves to the fact that they lived in a bucket-carrying world… and that only a small percentage of peopled dared to dream pipeline dreams.

Are You A Rock and Roll Star?

Did you write that musical hit that the world couldn't resist? And because of your musical talents, do you receive a music royalty check in the mail for thousands of dollars each month?

No? No musical talent? No skill at writing hit records?

Well, are you a famous novelist?

Are you interviewed on all the television talk shows? Do publishers bid record amounts of money for the rights to your next mystery novel? And, because of your captivating writing talent, do you receive thousands of dollars in royalties from your publisher every month?

Or, do you own a couple million dollars worth of high grade stocks and bonds? And, every month do you receive a dividend check for thousands of dollars, conveniently sent to you from your broker?

Or, did you arrange to be adopted by a rich family? And did that family leave you thousands of dollars in monthly inheritance income from their many trust funds?

Or, do you have to work for a living?

If you are like most people, you have to work for a living. If you don't work, you don't get paid.
What's different in the above examples? Well, if you were a successful rock star, novelist, rich investor, or lucky heir, you would receive money every month even if you didn't go to work.

That's called residual income.

What's residual income?
It's a lot different than linear income, the kind most people have. You see, linear income continues only as long as you continue the work.

If you are a surgeon, you get paid whenever you perform a surgery. If you don't perform a surgery, you don't get paid. If you are a construction worker, you get paid when you work. If you decide not to work for the next 12 months, chances are your employer is not going to pay you. If you drive a bus, you get paid. If you quit driving buses, you don't get paid. That's how linear income works. You receive income when you work. When you stop working, the income stops coming.

Residual income is different.
The best way to describe residual income is that when do something right just one time, you get paid over and over again for what you did.

So, you wrote a hit song ten years ago. Every time it plays on the radio somewhere in the world, you get a little royalty. Even though you completed writing your song ten years ago, every month you receive a royalty check from people who play your tune. You did it right one time, and now you collect every month.

When you wrote that hit novel five years ago, you finished your work. Now, you receive regular royalty checks from continuing sales of your book from your friendly publisher. You did it right one time, and now you collect every month.

You invested the few million dollars you had lying around in your checking account six years ago into high grade stock and bonds. Now, every month you look forward to your monthly dividend checks. You did it right one time, and now you collect every month.

You called every duke, queen, business magnate, and rich sports star twenty years ago and asked to be adopted. Finally, one accepted your proposition. Every month your inheritance check reminds you that the adoption letter campaign of twenty years ago really paid off. You did it right one time, and now you collect every month.

Residual income sounds nice, doesn't it? Unfortunately, most people have trouble developing a residual income.

Why? We can't sing or write music. We don't have publishing contacts for our hit novel. We don't have a few million dollars sitting in our checking account waiting to be invested. And, worst of all, we can't find any rich people in failing health ready to adopt us.

However, there is hope.

There is another way to develop residual income. There’s a way to get monthly checks for thousands of dollars so that we can do the things we want in life, so that we can achieve our dreams. And best of all, almost anyone can develop this residual income.

The Michael Jordan Story

Young Michael Jordan was a head shorter then than the rest of the high school kids from the basketball team.

Little wonder then that he didn’t even make it to the high school basketball team.

However, Michael loved basketball and he never stopped trying to get into the team. He kept talking to the coach to give him a chance to be on the team and he was willing to do anything to achieve that.

Today Michael Jordan is the NUMBER ONE basketball player in the world. He is also NBA’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) for 6 years and has become a player worth millions of dollars.

How did he earn so much money?

The key question is:

“Did he do it while aiming to earn millions of dollars?”
or
“Did he do it while aiming to become the NUMBER 1 basketball player in the world?”

The answer is obvious!

From young M. Jordan had always wanted to become the No 1 basketball player in the world.

He wanted to Be someone, and he is willing to Do whatever it takes to be that person. When he has done that, he will Have whatever he wants and that includes his millions worth of wealth.

His desire to become the BEST basketball player was so strong that he actually grew so much taller then when he started in the earlier years.

The same stands true in life.

Many people aim to Have big cars (E.g. Mercedes Benz), a big house, lots of cash. They then go out to Do whatever it takes to have those material stuff so that one day they can Be someone of recognition and status.

Little do they know that when they use material stuff as a goal in life, what happens instead is that instead of having a Mercedes Benz, they will start to downgrade.

Their Mercedes becomes a Honda; and their big house becomes a smaller house. The list goes on…

To summarize, all successful achievers in life start out with a goal to Be someone. They then Do what it takes to become the person and they will end up having what they dream of. Be, Do, Have!

Thus if you want to be like our Senior Minister Lee Kwan Yew, you must Do whatever he did to become who he is today. If you fail to do anything that he has done in the past that has contributed to his success today, you will definitely not end up like SM Lee, don’t you agree?

The point in this, when you do everything he has done and become SM Lee, you would then have anything you wanted to have, wouldn’t you?
