题目内容

John and Bobby joined the same company together just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. Several years later, however, the boss promoted(提拔) Bobby to manager but John was still an ordinary（普通的）worker. John could not take it, and gave his resignation（辞职书） to the boss. He complained that the boss did not think much of those who were hard -working, but promoted only those who flattered（奉承）him.

The boss knew that John had worked very hard for the years. He thought for a moment and said, “Thank you for what you said, but I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave.”

John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find anyone selling watermelons in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found a man selling watermelons. The boss asked how much they cost every kilogram. John shook his head and went back to the seller to ask and returned to tell the boss $1.2 every kilogram.

The 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 watermelons in the market. Bobby went and returned, saying, “Boss, only one person is selling watermelons. $1.2 every kilogram, and $10 for 10 kilograms. The seller has 340 melons. On the table there are 58 melons, and each weighs about 2 kilograms. They were brought from the South two days ago. They are of good quality.”

Hearing what Bobby said, John realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided to stay and learn from Bobby.

The story tells us that a more successful person is more observant（善于观察的）and thinks more. Chances are there in the daily details（细节）. For the same thing, 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?

Many French teachers and parents complain that their kids are less bright than they were. They say young people visit museums less often and spend too much time on the Internet.

Last week we visited a park in Hebei. We were to find most of the trees had been burned. The workers told us that the trees soon after they were planted because they weren't watered well enough. workers burned them and cleaned the place for trees to be planted this year. a card found in one of the dead trees, a student wrote:

"I hope this tree will grow up with me to the backbone (栋梁) of our country." The workers said that the survival (存活) of the trees was really more important than trees were planted.
