 John and Bobby worked in the same company. Both of them worked very hard. However, several years later, Mr. Ted, the boss of the company, asked Bobby to be market manager. John could not accept the fact. He thought the boss only liked those who flattered(奉承) him. So he decided not to work there.

The boss knew John well and asked John to do one thing before he left. He asked John to go and find out anyone selling watermelon in the market. Soon John returned and said that he found a man selling watermelon. The boss asked him how much the watermelon was. John shook his head.

The boss asked John to wait a moment. Then he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to do the same thing. When Bobby returned, he told the boss that only one person was selling watermelon. It was $1.2 a kilo and $10 for 10 kilos. Each watermelon weighed about 2 kilos. All came from the South two days ago.

 John was much moved and realized the difference between himself and Bobby. Chances are in the daily details(细节) and a more successful person sees more and farther.
