10 years later, the little apprentice stopped being an apprentice and became a technician. He found the master and said with a bitter face, "Master, I have always done it your way. No matter what I do, I won't say a word. I only know how to work hard. I not only did a lot of practical things for the factory, but also learned a good craft. " However, what I don't understand is that those who are less skilled and less qualified than me have been promoted and raised, but I still have my old salary. "
The master said, "Are you sure your position in the factory is irreplaceable?" He nodded: "Yes." The master said, "You should have a day off." He asked inexplicably, "Take a day off?" The master said, "Yes, whatever your reason is, you must have a day off. Because if a lamp is on all the time, no one will notice it. Only when it is released for the last time will it attract others' attention ... "
He understood what the master meant and asked for a day off. Unexpectedly, when I went to work the next day, the factory director found him and said that he would be the chief technician of the whole factory and give him a raise. It turned out that on the day he asked for leave, the factory director discovered that the factory could not do without him, because he usually handled many faults and no one else could handle them at all.
He was very happy and secretly admired the master's cleverness. His salary has been raised and his life has been better. Buy a car, a house, a wife and children. Whenever there is an economic crisis, he will take a day off. After every vacation, the director will give him a raise.
He can't remember how many times he asked for leave. Just as he was about to go to work after his last leave, he was stopped by the guard. He went to the factory director. The factory director said, "You don't have to come to work!" " "He walked up to the master in distress:" Master, I did as you said. "
The master said, "You couldn't wait to ask for leave before I finished talking that day. You know, if a light stays on, no one will really notice it. Only by turning it off once will it attract others' attention. But if it is closed all the time, it is in danger of being replaced. Who needs a flickering light? "
