Wantrepreneur: I'd like to pick the beautiful blooming roses across the raging river. Can you help me?
MJ: Sure, what advice do you need?
Wantrepreneur: Give me the roses.
MJ: Huh?
Wantrepreneur: Just give me the roses.
MJ: But how will that teach you how to get across the river?
Wantrepreneur: I don't care about the river, I just want the roses. I like the smell, their look, everything about them!
MJ: But if you want the roses you're going to need to learn how to cross the river yourself. I can give you the bluepint for building a boat, but you're going to need tools: Hammers, wood, nails and some other things so you can build a boat. It can take you a while to find this things and learn to use them, but trust me, the roses are incredible! A journey far worth the effort.
Wantrepreneur: Tools? Boat? I don't want to build a boat with those tools. How about this ice cream cone that I'm eating? It taste so good. Can I use that somehow to cross the river?
MJ: Huh? What does your ice cream cone have to do with the river? The problem you have is raging in front of you.
Wantrepreneur: Mmmm but this ice cream cone is so yummy.
MJ: {furrows brow}
Wantrepreneur: So... when can I get those roses?
