CONCEPTS
This is Hopism-Beta-Edition, republished again after a four year break due to background issues. It is still edition 1 and could do with some editing, better english, slicker graphics, some videos and many more diagrams. That will get done sometime during rainy dark November 2014, together with a discussion forum, where this rough idea can be beaten into shape and better written by contributors.
The end result is more useful work done, a happier society and more free time to enjoy your life - whilst knowing that social obligations are met.

“Just a little while”. He asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish? The fisherman said he had enough to meet his target for today. The businessman then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?" The fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, relax with my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my friends. The businessman frowned, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to the City, where you will run your expanding enterprise.
The holidaying businessman was at the pier when a fisherman docked with several large fish in his little boat. The businessman complimented the fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them?
The business man continued, "Eventually you could have enough to retire and move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."
