During the summer vacation, I read a book called Little Inspiration and Great Achievements, which was deeply inspired. This book is published by Tongxin Publishing House. There are 50 celebrity stories in the book, all of which are about the great achievements of the protagonists, which are not inspiring. Among them, my favorite is the story "A Drop of Solder".

This story tells that when Rockefeller, the oil king, first entered the oil company, he had no superb technology and had to be assigned to check whether the lid of the mass-produced oil drum was welded automatically. This is the easiest job in the company. Every day, he can only watch the solder drop by drop. After half a month, he couldn't bear it, found the supervisor, applied for another job, and was rejected. Since he can't get a better job, he thought to himself, let's do this job well.

So he began to observe the welding machine carefully. After several days of careful observation, he found that it takes 39 drops of flux to weld a cover, but after his careful calculation, only 38 drops of flux are needed. After repeated experiments, he finally developed 38 drops of solder. Don't underestimate this drop of solder, it saves the company $50,000 every year! Yes, Rockefeller was inspired by a small drop of solder. In our life, we should also be good at observing and thinking. Perhaps, the opportunity is just around the corner.
