A Story – Learn and Earn by Stephen

Brant and Grant joined a wholesale company together just after graduation.

Both worked very hard.

After several years, the boss promoted Grant to Sales Manager but Brant remained a sales rep.

One day Brant 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 Brant worked very hard for the years, but in order to help Brant realize the difference between him and Grant, the boss asked Brant to do the following.

Go and find out anyone selling water melon in the market?

Brant returned and said yes.

The boss asked how much per kg?

Brant went back to the market to ask and returned to inform boss the $12 per kg.

Boss told Brant, I will ask Grant the same question?

Grant 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.

Brant was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Grant.

He decided not to resign but to learn from Grant.

Boss explains:

A more successful person is more observant, think more and understand in depth.

A more successful person sees several years ahead, while you see only tomorrow.

Learning:

A Successful person begins with two beliefs – The future can be better than the present and I have the power to make it so.
