How thoughtful in depth are you?
Kim and Lee joined a wholesale company together just after graduation.
Both worked very hard.
After several years, the boss promoted Lee to sales executive but Kim remained a sales rep. One day Kim 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 Kim worked very hard for the years, but in order to help Kim realise the difference between him and Lee , the boss asked Kim to do the following. Go and find out anyone selling water melon in the market? Kim returned and said yes. The boss asked how much per kg? Kim went back to the market to ask and returned to inform boss the $12 per kg.
Boss told Kim , I will ask Lee the same question? Lee 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.
Kim was very impressed and realised the difference between himself and Lee . He decided not to resign but to learn from Lee .
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 we see only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365 times.
Think! how far have you seen ahead in your life? How thoughtful in depth are you?
