80年代常被傳頌的一篇文章:
When I take a long time, I am slow,
When my boss takes a long time, he is thorough.
When I don't do it, I am lazy,
When my boss does not do it, he is too busy.
When I do something without being told, I am trying to be smart,
When my boss does the same, he takes initiative.
When I please my boss, I am apple polishing,
When my boss pleases his boss, he is cooperating.
When I do good, my boss never remembers,
When I do wrong, he never forgets.
