Passage A The importance of details
John and Bob joined a wholesale company
together just after graduation from college
the
same year. Both worked very hard. After
several
years, however, the boss promoted Bob
to the
position of manager but John remained
an
ordinary worker. John could not take it
anymore,
sent his resignation to the boss and
complained
the boss did not value hard-working
staff.
The boss knew that John worked very
hard for
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.”
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 found a man selling watermelon.
The
boss asked him how much each kilogram was. John
shook his head and went
back to the market to
ask and returned to inform the boss that the
watermelon was
$$1.2 per kg.
The boss
told John to wait a second, and he called Bob to
come to his office. He
asked Bob to go and
find anyone selling watermelon in the market. Bob
went,
returned and said, “Boss, only one
person is selling watermelon. The price is $$1.2
per
kg, $$10 for 10kg. He has 340 melons in
total. Every melon weighs about 2kg. They
were
bought two days ago,and they are fresh, red and of
good quality.”
John was very impressed and
knew the difference between himself and Bob. He
decided not to resign but to learn from Bob.
My dear friends , a more successful person
sees more and farther so that he can find
out
a chance and catch it to achieve his success. If a
person sees one year ahead while
another sees
only tomorrow, the difference between a year and a
day is 365 times.

Passage B Coffee
and cup
A group of graduates got together to
visit their old
university professor. The
conversation soon turned
into complaints about
pressure at work and in life.
Offering his
guests coffee, the professor went to the
kitchen and returned with a large pot of
coffee and
different kinds of cups—china,
plastic, glass, crystal,
some plain-looking,
some expensive—telling them to
help themselves
to the coffee.
When all the students had a
cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “If you
noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups
have been taken up, leaving behind the
plain
and cheap it is normal for you to want only the
best for yourselves,
that is the source of
your problems and pressure.”
“Be sure that
the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In
many ways it is just
more expensive and in
some ways it even hides what we drink.”
“What all of you really want is coffee, not the
cup, but you went for the best
then you began
eyeing each other’s cups.”
“Now think about
this: life is the coffee; the jobs, money and
position in society are
the cups. They are
just tools to hold the life we live, and the type
of cup we have does
not
define(v.
定义,明确
), nor change, the quality
of life we live. Sometimes, by
concentrating
only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee.
Taste the coffee, not the
cups! Don’t let the
cups drive you. Enjoy the coffee instead!” (Word

Passage C Sand and stone
The
story goes that two friends were walking through
the desert. During some point
of the journey
they had an argument, and one friend hit the other
one in the face.
The one who got hit was
hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the
sand:
“Today my best friend hit me in the
face.”
They kept on walking until they found
an oasis, where they decided to take a bath.
The one who had been hit got stuck in the mire
and started drowning, but the friend
saved
him.
After he got out of the near mire, he
wrote on stone: “Today my best friend saved
my
life.”
The friend who had hit and saved his
best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you
wrote in the sand and now you engraved on
stone. Why?” The other friend replied,
“When
someone hurts us, we should write it down in the
sand where winds of
forgiveness can erase it
away. But when someone does something good for us,
we
must engrave it in stone where no wind can
ever erase it.”
Learn to write your hurts in
the sand and to engrave your benefits in stone.
