Rome Was Not Built in a Day
Every year there comes a huge flux of graduates from colleges, and needless to say, every one of them yearns for a satisfactory job. Yet a cartoon takes me with a start, because it unfolds before us an appalling condition that most of us have never thought about. In that cartoon picture, you could see a job-hunter standing on the top of a hill. With the aid of a telescope, he cranes his neck beholding far into the distance in search of a good job. Despite his efforts and perspirations, his search turns out to be in vain. "Why the hell is it so difficult to find a good job!" he says to himself. While at the foot of the hill, a man of the recruiting party is walking to and fro in a fretful manner. He is badly in need of specified experts, but there is no applicant at all. Obviously perplexed by such a situation, he asks himself why nobody applies for such a good job.
This is a prevailing phenomenon of nowadays. The job-hunters are always aiming too high, and tend to overlook the suitable and ready jobs just ahead. What hinders the way of their employment is not the shortage of posts in the job-market, but their own state of mind. The so-called good job not only promises a big salary, it demands adroit skills as well. And what's more, it is almost impossible to make a fortune overnight.
So my friends, do bear this saying in your mind: "Rome was not built in a day". Beautiful dreams are to be fulfilled little by little.
