Chuan and Jing joined a wholesale company together just after
graduation. Both worked very hard. After several years, the boss promoted Jing
to sales executive but Chuan remained a sales rep. One day Chuan could not take
it anymore, tender resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not
value hard working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him. The boss
knew that Chuan worked very hard for the years, but in order to help Chuan
realise the difference between him and Jing, the boss asked Chuan to do the
following. Go and find out anyone selling water melon in the market? Chuan
returned and said yes. The boss asked how much per kg? Chuan went back to the
market to ask and returned to inform boss the $12 per kg.
Boss
told Chuan, I will ask Jing the same question? Jing went, returned and said,
boss, only one person selling water melon. $12 per kg, $100 for 10 kg, he has
inventory of 340 melons. On the table 58 melons, every melon weighs about 15
kg, bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and red, good quality.
Chuan was very impressed and realised the difference between himself and Jing.
He decided not to resign but to learn from Jing.
Moral: My dear friends, a more successful person is more observant, think
more and understand in depth. For the same matter, a more successful person
sees several years ahead, while you see only tomorrow. The difference between a
year and a day is 365 times, how could you win? Think! how far have you seen
ahead in your life? How thoughtful in depth are you?
