Since the old temple wasn’t prosperous at all, there was only a wise monk living there. Besides the building, there was an alley and a poor 30-year-old man, who had been eager to make a fortune but he was still single. One day, Sitaram arrived at the temple and asked the monk devoutly, "Wise man, you says that my mind is flexible and ambitious. But why can’t I come across opportunity?" The monk replied, "instead of waiting for special opportunity all the time, you would rather seize common occasions. Now the temple is in need of a labor, although the wage is a bit low, it can satisfy your daily needs.” Sitaram respected the monk so much that he followed his advice to be a labor in the temple. Everyday Sitaram did chores obligingly, including sweeping the floor, carrying water and so on. Half a month later, there was a severe storm and it washed away the loess in the yard of the old temple. Gradually, a few granite appeared on the ground. Because of these uneven a few stones, it was more difficult for Sitaram to sweep .At first, he wanted to remove them, but he was lazy to do it. Therefore, he just shoveled some loess outside the temple to pave them on the rough stones. Year after year, Sitaram did the same work repeatedly everyday in the temple. One day, a pilgrim bought a batch of green garden block, hired people to scrape the loess and prepared to pave the dirt roads with them. Because the stones are uneven, the pilgrim asked the workers to remove them. After that, they found that there is a hole beneath the stones and inside it there were large quantities of gold, which was valuable very much. Upon seeing that, Sitaram was so astonished that he couldn't say a word. Then He also couldn’t eat or sleep well, so he ran to visit the monk and cried: "after the rainstorm, I was the first one to find the stones. If I had removed them, I would have been the discoverer of the treasure! But I have missed such a good opportunity." The wise man said slowly, “Opportunities tend to be missed by most people because they look ordinary.” In short, as a popular business E-platform of promoting stone industry, our its client resource has accounted over 100 thousand spreading more than 100 countries and regions, with a visit volume exceeding 5 million times annually.
