Harry came in a minute after James. There was a letter for him, too, which he opened at once. It was from the secretary (秘書) of a company, offering him a post (職位) in their office. He was told to be there at 10 a. m. the next morning, as there were others who wanted the job.
James got back from the play at midnight. He was sleepy. “That letter can be opened in the morning,” he thought. The next morning when he woke up, he at once jumped out of bed, tore(撕)it open-his face fell. It was a similar letter to the one Harry had received the night before. But James’ chance was gone.

Several years ago, a television reporter was interviewing three of the most important people from local businesses. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
　　The reporter was talking to them about being important.
　　“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.
　　The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President is really important.”
　　The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.
　　The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President said he was too busy to answer it.”
　　The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”
　　“No, I don’t.” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
　　“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.
　　“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘it’s for you.’”
