In the northeastern region of China, there is a folk rhyme that goes: "Fuyu's land is a treasure trove, gold and silver treasures are everywhere to be found; as long as one isn't lazy, golden and silver beans will run all over the ground." This rhyme about golden and silver beans leads us to an ancient tale.On the banks of the Songhua River in Northeast China, there lived a farming family surnamed Jin. The elderly couple had their two sons late in life. They saved diligently, scrimping and saving to accumulate some property for their sons, hoping they could one day marry and live good lives.

Why is it that, doing the same job—coming to work, leaving work, and submitting performance—some employees consistently win their boss’s favor, rising as if on a fast elevator, while others remain stuck in the corner of the office, never getting promotions or raises? What secret criteria do bosses actually use to pick their successors or promote their top talents?

For a smart employee, he is always happy to take on "trouble" voluntarily.It was a Friday afternoon, just before the end of the workday. With the weekend approaching, everyone else had relaxed, mentally planning how to spend their free time. A stranger walked in and asked Langge where he could find an assistant to help organize

Life is composed of countless subtle details. Some details may seem insignificant, yet often hide profound insights. Perhaps it is precisely because you overlooked one small detail that you missed many opportunities along life's journey. Paying attention to details is not merely a small reminder—it should be an attitude and a code of conduct that we consciously cultivate.

A few days ago, I interviewed a male candidate, a recent graduate from a key university in Wuhan, who had traveled specifically to Beijing to look for a job.He wore a full set of black sportswear and was waiting for me at the front desk. Upon meeting, he spread his hands outward and said, "You've already seen my resume yesterday, so I didn't bring it today.""Did you bring a pen?" I had reminded him over the phone the day before to bring one.

One day, a recent college graduate visited a retired senior leader who was now living at home in retirement. He asked, "Senior, how can I become as accomplished, respected, and successful as you—someone whose life has been brilliant and who enjoys security in old age?"The elder replied, "Let me share my story with you.""When I first started working, around twenty years old, I had energy and knowledge. I worked passionately and vigorously, doing everything 'with sound and color'—loud, visible, and impressive. Naturally, I achieved remarkable results and eventually earned the recognition of my superiors.

A friend of mine is the HR manager at a company. One day, I went to visit him and happened to find him interviewing a group of recent college graduates. Out of curiosity, I sat down and listened for a while, and was deeply struck. More than twenty bright and energetic students, each full of enthusiasm, introduced themselves and then expressed their passion for the positions they were applying for. The company was hiring for marketing and sales roles, yet over half of these students were not majoring in related fields—some studied Chinese literature, others foreign languages, and two were biology majors.

Dale Carnegie had held many jobs, but never excelled at any of them. When he worked selling cars at an automobile company, his passion still wasn't ignited. During sales pitches, he would simply recite, like reading from a script, the car's features, price, and advantages. One day, an elderly man came to look at a car. Carnegie once again mechanically repeated his usual "sales script." After listening, the old man said, "Young man, how can you possibly attract customers this way?"

Tolerance and compassion broaden one's heart and spirit, while hatred traps a person forever in the shadow of anger and violence. If someone cannot completely overcome the flaw of constantly resenting others, it is like climbing a mountain while shackled with chains and leg irons—not only will they fail to succeed, but they also risk falling into an abyss.

The production manager of a large company resigned, and his successor was a middle-aged man known for his practicality and hard work. From the very first day on the job, he worked tirelessly. His defining trait was going deep into the front lines. You could hardly ever find him in his office, as he constantly rushed from one workshop to another solving problems. No sooner had he resolved one issue than another popped up elsewhere, forcing him to hurry off again.
