機遇就存在于生活的細節中。同樣的一件事，一個成功的人會看得更多更遠……

　　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.

　　約翰和博比同年大學畢業后，被同一家批發公司錄用。他們二人工作都很努力。然而，幾年后，老板提拔博比為部門經理，而約翰還是一名普通員工。約翰再也無法忍受，沖動之下寫了一封辭職信，并抱怨老板不會用人，不重用那些敬業的員工，只提升那些奉承他的人。

　　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."

　　老板知道這幾年約翰工作確實很努力。他想了一會兒說：“謝謝你對我的批評。但是我只有一個請求，我希望在你離開之前再為公司做一件事情。或許到時你會改變決定，收回辭呈。”

　　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.

　　約翰答應了。 老板讓他去市場找到一個賣西瓜的人。約翰去了并很快回來。他說他找到了一個賣西瓜的人。老板問他每公斤多少錢?約翰搖搖頭，回到市場去問，然后又回來告訴老板每公斤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.
