差距
荷叶/译
约翰和博比同年大学生毕业，一起进入了一家批发公司。两人工作都很卖力气，几年后，老板把博比提升到经理的岗位上，但约翰依然是个普通员工。约翰忍无可忍，愤然向老板递交了辞呈，并抱怨老板不会任用员工，不重视努力工作的员工的价值，只是提升那些溜须拍马之人。
老板知道约翰多年来工作一直很努力。他略一沉吟，说道：“多谢你直言批评，但我有一个请求。我希望在你离开之前，能为公司再做一件事情。也许你会改变决定，收回辞呈。”
约翰表示同意。老板请他到市场上调查一下：有人卖西瓜吗？他回来说他发现有一个人在卖西瓜。老板问：多少钱一斤？约翰摇了摇头，返回市场去问，回来后告诉老板：每千克1.2美元。
老板请约翰稍等一下，他把博比叫到办公室。他让博比去市场调查是否有人卖西瓜。博比去后，回来说：“老板，市场上只有一个人在卖西瓜，每千克1.2美元，每十千克十美元，他库存三百四十个西瓜，架上摆放五十八个，每个西瓜重二千克，西瓜两天以前刚从南方运来，新鲜，红瓤，优质。”
约翰受到很大触动，他认识到了自己和博比之间的差距，决定不再辞职，而是向博比学习。
亲爱的朋友们，一个成功的人总是更勤于观察，善于思考和探微寻隐。机会存在于日常细节之中。对于同一件事情，一个成功的人总是看得更多更远，因此，他总能发现并抓住机会，实现自己的目标。如果一个人能够看到一年以后的情景，另一个人只能看到明天，一年和一天的差距是三百六十五倍，请问你怎么能赢？
附：原文 John and Bobby joined a wholesale company together just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss promoted Bobby to the position of manager but John remained an ordinary employee. John could not take it any more, tendered his resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not know how to delegate and did not value hard working staff, butonly 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 our company 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 asked how much per kg? John shook his head and went back to the market to ask and returned to inform the boss $1.2 per kg. Boss told John to wait a second, and he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to go and find anyone selling watermelon in the market. Bobby went, returned and said, boss, only one person selling watermelon. $1.2 per kg, $10 for 10kg, he has inventory of 340 melons. On the table 58 melons, every melon weights about2 kg, bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and red, good quality. John was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided notto resign but to learn from Bobby. My dear friends, amore successful person is more observant, thinks more and explores in depth.Chances exists in the daily details. For the same matter, a more successful person sees more and farther so that he can find out an opportunity and catchit to realize his aim. If a person sees one year ahead, while another sees only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365 times, how could you win? |
