A company wanted to get the best employee(雇员). After the competition, only three people were left.
In the last competition, the three people entered a room with a monitor(监视器). Inside the room, there was everything they needed but no telephone and they couldn't surf the Internet. The three people just waited patiently for the exam questions.
The first day, three people were very excited, watching TV, reading books and listening to music.
The next day, because they still didn't know the exam questions, two of them were worried and often changed TV channels.
Five days later, the winner was the one who could keep a happy life. The leader of the company thinks happiness is a kind of ability(能力). If you keep a happy heart, you will succeed finally!
