John and Bobby joined a wholesale company togther just after graduation from college thesame year. Both worked very hard. After several years，however，the boss promoted Bobby to theposotion of manager but John remained an ordinary employee. John could not take it anymore，ten原dered his resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not know how to delegate and didnot value hard working staff，but only promoted those who flattered him.
The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought a moment and said，“Thank you for your criticism，but I have a request. I hope you will do one more thing for ourcompany before you leave. Perhaps you will change your decision and take back your resignation.”John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find out anyone selling watermelon in the market.John went and returned soon. He said he had found out a man selling watermelon. The boss askedhow much per kg? John shook his head and went back to the market to ask and returned to informthe boss $1.2 per kg.
Boss told John to wait a second，and he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobbyto go and find anyone seling watermelon in the market. Bobby went，returned and said，boss，onlyone person selling watermelon. $1.2 per kg，$10 for 10kg，he has inventory of 340 melons. On thetable 58 melons，every melon weights about 2 kg，bought from the South two days ago，they arefresh and red，good quality.
John was very impresed and realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decidednot to resign but to learn from Bobby.
My dear friends，a more successful person is more observant，thinks more and explores indepth. Chances exists in the daily details. For the same matter，a more successful person sees moreand farther so that he can find out an opportunity and catch it to realize his aim. If a person seesone year ahead，while another sees only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365times，how could you win?
