Rahul and Rohan joined a wholesale company together just after graduation. Both worked very hard.
After several years, the boss promoted Rohan to sales executive but Rahul remained a sales rep. One day Rahul could not take it anymore, tender resignation to the boss and complained that the boss did not value hard working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.
The boss knew that Rahul worked very hard for the years, but in order to help Rahul realize the difference between him and Rohan, the boss asked Rahul to do the following…
Go and find out anyone selling water melon in the market? Rahul returned and said yes.
The boss asked how much per kg? Rahul went back to the market to ask and returned to inform boss the $12 per kg.
Boss told Rahul, I will ask Rohan the same question.
Rohan went, returned and said, boss, only one person is 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.
Rahul was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Rohan. He decided not to resign but to learn from Rohan .
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. 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?
