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?
