Just to share a story that I read in the papers which I felt very inspiring. The story is in chinese, I manage to Baidu the story from a china website, and I translated it with Google Translate…. I hope it inspires you too.
总裁的昨天
一个城里男孩移居到乡下，从一个农民那里花了100元买了一头驴，这个农民同意了第二天把驴带来给他。第二天，农民来找男孩说：“对不起，我有一个坏消息要告诉你——那头驴死了。”男孩回答说：“好吧，你把钱还给我就行了！”可农民告诉他钱花掉了，男孩想了想，就让这位农民把那头死驴给他。
几个月后，那农民又遇到了男孩，农民问他后来如何处置死驴的，男孩说：“我举办了一次幸运抽奖，并把那头驴作为奖品，我卖出了500张彩票，每张2元。”
农民好奇的问：“难道没有人不满吗？”
男孩说只有那个中奖的人表示不满，所以我把他买彩票的钱还他，这样我就赚了998元。
许多年后，长大了的男孩，成为了一家大公司的总裁。
