Learn and Earn

Chuan and Jing joined a wholesale company together just after graduation. Both worked very hard.

After several years, the boss promoted Jing to sales executive but Chuan remained a sales rep. One day Chuan could not take it anymore, he tendered his resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not value hard working staff, but only promoted his favorites.

The boss knew that Chuan worked very hard for all the years, but in order to help Chuan realize the difference between him and Jing, the boss asked Chuan to do the following. Go and find out anyone selling water melon in the market? Chuan returned and said yes. The boss asked how much per kg? Chuan went back to the market to ask and returned to inform boss the $12 per kg.

Boss told Chuan, I will ask Jing the same question? Jing 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 1.5 kg, bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and red, good quality.

Chuan was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Jing. He decided not to resign but to learn from Jing.

Take Home Message: My dear SOHEE Members, a more successful person is often quite observant, a more in depth thinker, has a heightened sense of understanding and tends to be more thorough in their approach to most aspects of their life. Consequentially, a more successful person sees several years ahead, while the much less successful may only see tomorrow.

How far do you see ahead in your life? How thoughtful, thorough, observant or in depth are you? Is there room for improvement?
