Promotion

Tom and Jerry joined a wholesale company together, just after graduation. Both worked very hard. After several years, the boss promoted Tom to Sales Executive but Jerry remained a sales rep.One day, Jerry could not take it anymore, tendered his resignation and complained to the boss that he did not value hard working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.The boss knew that Jerry worked very hard over the years, but in order to help Jerry realize the difference between him and Tom, the boss asked Jerry to do the following. Go and find out if anyone is selling water melons in the market. Jerry returned and said yes. The boss asked how much per kg? Jerry went back to the market to ask and returned to inform the boss it was$12 per kg.Boss told Jerry, I will ask Tom the same question.Tom went out and on returning, reported to the boss: "Only one person selling water melons. $12 per kg, $100 for 10kg, he has inventory for 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.Jerry was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Tom. He decided not to resign but to learn from Tom.My dear friends, a more successful person is more observant, thinks more and understands in-depth. For the same matter, a more successful person sees several years ahead, while the other see only tomorrow.
