Many of us...sometimes will be wondering, how my colleague got good appraisal or good promotion and why not me? Here is a small story which ...tell u the solution for it.
Chuan and Jing joined a wholesale company together just after graduation. Both worked very hard.

After several years, the boss promoted Jing to sales executive but Chuan remained a sales rep. One day Chuan 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 Chuan worked very hard for the years, but in order to help Chuan realise the difference between him and Jing, the boss asked Chuan to do the following. Go and find out anyone selling water melon in the market? Chuan returned and said yes. The boss asked how much per kg? Chuan went back to the market to ask and returned to inform boss the $12 per kg.

Boss told Chuan, I will ask Jing the same question? Jing 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.

Chuan was very impressed and realised the difference between himself and Jing. He decided not to resign but to learn from Jing.

My dear friends, a more successful person is more observant, think more and understand in depth. For the same matter, a more successful person sees several years ahead, while you see only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365 times, how could you win?

Think! how far have you seen ahead in your life? How thoughtful in depth are you? Don't take up haste decision. Instead think, how he is better from you and try improving on your weak points.
Take it as a challenge!!!!!

That's a very nice message that you have sent to the group. Thanks for it. Right, we have to realize that success in life is about constant improvement, we have to learn from as many sources as possible and improve our self. The source of learning might be from our rival but its very important to learn the trick from them as well.
We have to spend some time in a day analysing what we have done during the day, how productive it has been? what have I learnt today? what is that thing that has to change in me to perform better.
Hard work is not the only thing that matter, what matters more is how we work hard and pickup the skills as well.

This is one of the good subject to learn all the achievers in life, because success is not an easy matter .success is a meaningful goal , who's achieving those meaningful goal & adding some other goal to achieve become a successful man.
