I would like start today with an incidence for today's thought Never quit without trying..
Quit thinking that you must halt before the barrier of inner negativity. You need not. You can crash through whatever we see a negative state, that is where we can destroy it.– Vernon Howard

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, tender
resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not value hard
working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.
The boss knew that Chuan worked very hard for 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 15 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.
My dear friends, a more successful person is more observant, think more
and understand 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?
Nice story, illustrates the point rather well. Good post for Q.

DeleteGood Post.... While I agree on the points for a person to be successful, according to me and my experiences - it also needs a bit of luck, being at the right place at right time and above all - a mentor above you in hierarchy.
