机遇就存在于生活的细节中。同样的一件事，一个成功的人会看得更多更远……
John and Bobby joined a wholesale company togther just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss promoted Bobby to the posotion of manager but John remained an ordinary employee. John could not take it anymore, tendered his resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not know how to delegate and did not value hard working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him。
约翰和博比同年大学毕业后，被统一家批发公司录用。他们二人工作都很尽力。然而，多少年后，老板选拔博比为部分经理，而约翰仍是一名一般员工。约翰再也无奈忍耐，激动之下写了一封辞职信，并埋怨老板不会用人，不重用那些敬业的员工，只晋升那些阿谀他的人。
The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought for 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 mind and take back your resignation."
老板晓得这几年约翰工作确切很努力。他想了一会儿说：“谢谢你对我的批驳。然而我只有一个恳求，我盼望在你分开之前再为公司做一件事件。或者到时你会转变决定，收回辞呈。”
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。
约翰许可了。 老板让他去市场找到一个卖西瓜的人。约翰去了并很快回来。他说他找到了一个卖西瓜的人。老板问他每公斤多少钱?约翰摇摇头，回到市场去问，而后又回来告知老板每公斤1.2美元。
Boss told John to wait a second, and he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to go and find anyone seling 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 about 2 kg, bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and red, good quality。
老板让约翰等一会儿，这时他把博比叫到办公室。他让博比去市场找到一个卖西瓜的人。博比去了，回来之后说：“老板，只有一个卖西瓜的人，每公斤 1.2美元，每10公斤卖10美元。这个人一共有340个西瓜，其中58个放在货架上，每个西瓜重约2公斤，都是两天前从南方运来的，新颖，红瓤，品质好。”
John was very impresed and realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided not to resign but to learn from Bobby。
约翰受到很大的触动，他意识到本人与博比之间的差距。他决议收回辞呈并向博比学习。
My dear friends, a more 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 catch it 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?
敬爱的友人们，胜利的人更擅长察看，勤于思考跟孜孜探究。机会就存在于生涯的细节中。同样的一件事，一个成功的人会看得更多更远。有人看到一年后的情景，而你只看到来日。一年与一天的差距是365倍，你怎么能赢呢?
