Hi Class 708,

Thank you for replying to my speech on B.I.G.G.  My wife and I "enjoyed" reading your messages.  She translated for me.  I hope my Chinese can improve so I can reply in Chinese someday.  For now, I will reply in English.

I have a story to share with you that will help you understand B.I.G.G.

One day an executive of a prosperous exporting company had to go on business trip and would have to be gone for a long period of time.  He had three managers to take care of his finances.  To the first manager he gave 10,000,000NT, to the second 5,000,000NT and to the third 1,000,000NT.  The executive said to the three managers, "Please take this money and put it to good use."  While their boss was away, the manager with the 10,000,000 NT used his ideas to invest money and received 10,000,000NT.  The second worked hard and received 5,000,000 NT back.  The third who received 1,000,000 NT was afraid and decided to put the money in a secret place in his house.

After a long time, the executive came back and had a meeting with his three managers.  The executive was very happy with the manager who earned 10,000,000NT.  He gave this manager more responsibility because he was very responsible.  The executive was also happy with the second manager.  The second manager also received more responsibility in the company.  When he called the third manager, this manager said that he was afraid because he knew that the executive was a shrewd and harsh boss so he hid the money in his house.

The executive was very angry.  He told the third manager that he could have at least put the money in the bank to receive interest, but he did not.  He fired the third manager.  This story is not about money.

• Why do you think the executive was angry?
• Why was the 3^rd manager afraid?
• Why were the 1^st and 2^nd manager successful?

I hope my questions will create thought that can lead to inspiration. 

May God bless you.

Rex
