介绍:
1. Joe and Jack joined a company together just after graduation. Both worked very hard. After several years, the boss promoted Jack to sales executive but Joe remained a sales rep.
2. One day Joe could not take it anymore, tendered resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not value hard working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.
3. The boss knew that Joe worked very hard for the years, but in order to help Joe realize the difference between him and Jack, the boss asked Joe to do the following. “Go and find out anyone selling watermelon in the market?” Joe returned and said yes. The boss asked, “How much per kg?” Joe went back to the market to ask and returned to inform boss.
4. Boss told Joe, “I will ask Jack the same question.” Jack went, returned and said, “Boss, only one person selling watermelon. $12 per kg, $100 for 10 kg, he has inventory of 340 melons, every melon weighs about 15 kg, bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and red, good quality.”
5. Joe was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Jack. He decided not to resign but to learn from Jack. My dear friends, a more successful person is more observant, thinks more and understands in depth. For the same matter, a more successful person sees several years ahead, while you see only tomorrow.
乔和杰克在毕业后一起进入了一家公司。两人都非常努力地工作。几年后，老板将杰克提升为销售主管，但乔仍然是销售代表。
有一天，乔受不了了，向老板提出辞职，并抱怨老板不重视努力工作的员工，而只提拔那些奉承他的人。
老板知道乔多年来非常努力工作，但为了帮助乔认识到他和杰克之间的差距，老板要求乔做以下事情。“去找找看有没有人在市场上卖西瓜？”乔回来后说有。老板问：“每公斤多少钱？”乔又去市场问了一下，回来通知老板。
老板对乔说：“我也会问杰克同样的问题。”杰克去了，回来后说：“老板，只有一个人在卖西瓜。每公斤12美元，10公斤100美元，他有340个瓜的库存，每个瓜大约15公斤重，两天前从南方买的，很新鲜，红色的，质量很好。”
乔受到触动，意识到自己和杰克之间的差异。他决定不辞职，而是要向杰克学习。我亲爱的朋友们，一个更成功的人观察力更强，思考更多，理解更深入。同样的问题，一个更成功的人可以看到未来几年，而你只看到明天。
