Tom and Jerry joined a wholesale company together just after
graduation.Both worked very hard. After several years, the boss
promoted Tom to sales executive but Jerry remained a sales rep.One
day Jerry 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 Jerry worked very hard for the years but in
order to help Jerry realise the difference between him and Tom, the
boss asked Jerry to do the following. Go and find out anyone
selling water melon in the market? Jerry returned and said yes. The
boss asked how much per kg? Jerry went back to the market to ask
and returned to inform boss the $12 per kg. Boss told Jerry, I will
ask Tom the same question? Tom went,returned and said, boss, only
one person selling water melon. $12 per kg, $100 for 10kg, 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. Jerry was very impressed and realised the
difference between himself and Tom. He decided not to resign but to
learn from Tom.
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?
