When the world-class skyscraper was about to be completed, the investigator and the architect of this large building especially invited a renowned artist to carve an eternal work to it, because they wished that the work would also drew much attention from people all over the world like this skyscraper. Out of attaching great importance to the artist, they provided 100 thousand dollars for him. Firstly, they asked him to design a model so as to have an overview of his creative ideas. Before long, the model was sent into the boss’ office. After observing this excellent work carefully, all people admired the artist’s talent very much, however, a geomancer didn’t agree with them and put forward suggestions to modify some details of the work, for in terms of geomancy, that part would destroy magnetic field, which would affect the future’s investment operation of this great building . As to this opinion, the boss felt worried, so he called in the artist and wished he would made a slight modification. Unexpectedly, the artist refused any proposals to modify it firmly, which made their talks in a stalemate. Even though the boss said he would give him another considerable coast, the artist remained unmoved, for he believed that his creation was unique in the world and didn’t allow any subject factors to affect the presentation of the work. Finally, the talks broke down. When he was about to leave, he asked the boss and architect, “Do you know the reason why I am able to become a well-known artist?” The boss blurted out, “Because you are fond of art and carving.” The artist refuted him, “No, it is because I can be poor!” To tell you the truth, after reading this story, I appreciate this artist’s great courage to insist on his idea very much. It is no deny that environment plays an important role in affecting and changing us, especially when we step into society. Maybe to many people, this artist was destined to be poor forever because of his obstinacy, but in my eyes, he was truly successful, for he ran after what he wanted even under the temptation of interests. To be honest, nowadays, it was more and more difficult to hold on to what we try to be, for we bear the burdens from all sides. Ok, I would like to take officials for instance. At the beginning, some officials came from poor families, but they made up their mind to improve their abilities so as to make contributions to society and people. But gradually, they were tempted by brides and addicted to drinking and chasing after the girls. Finally, they corrupted and did nothing good to society, which also finished their careers. Hence, in my opinion, the standard to evaluate a person’s success lies in his will not to do something bad firmly. In short, as a professional E-platform of promoting stone industry, we want to become the most professional trade promoting organization and B2B trade platform for stone industry all over the world.
