Bob and Jackie joined a company together just after finishing high school. They both worked very hard. After several years, the boss made Jackie the sales manager but Bob a salesman. One day Bob could not put up with it anymore. He handed in his resignation letter(辞职信) to the boss and complained that the boss did not value hard- working workers.

The boss knew that Bob had worked hard for the company all these years, but in order to help Bob to realise the difference between him and Jackie, the boss asked Bob to do the following. "Go and find out if there is anyone selling watermelons in the market. " Bob went, returned and only said, "Yes. " The boss asked, "How much per kilogram?" Bob went back to the market to ask and returned to answer, " $ 12 per kilogram. "

The boss told Bob to ask Jackie the same question. Jackie went, returned and said, "Boss, there is only one person selling watermelons. $ 12 per kilogram, $ 100 for 10 kilograms. He has 340 melons in all. On the table are 58 melons, and every melon weighs about 15 kilograms, bought from the South two days ago. They are fresh and red. "

Bob realised the difference between himself and Jackie. He decided not to leave but to learn from Jackie.

My dear friends, you know, a more successful person is more careful, thinks more and understands in depth. For the same matter, he sees several years ahead, while you see only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365 times, so how could you win?

Think: how far have you seen ahead in your life?
