A Proficiency Prophet 　
　Our boss was a prophet for proficiency. When he proclaimed the merits of improving productivity and making the company more profitable he spoke in such prose that hecould have propagated anything and we would have followed. Whatever he professed was said in such a profound manner thatwe were all immediately propelled to be more productive. And his prophecies were all true. His propaganda helped prolong the sucess of our company before its promising future came to a sudden halt. Our boss was prosecuted with propping up our company as a cover for child smuggling.
　　This only happened because police had caught our boss addcpting a proposition from an undercover policeman to kidnap the prodigy of the mayor of our city. The crime had never happened, but the damage had been done. We had lost our boss, the prophet, the hero and the company was devastated. All of us who had proliferated the proclamations of our boss could only shake our heads in disbelief. We could not believe that such a strong person would be involved with such an evil business at the same time as he was doing such a good job at building our company. Only a few of us connected the fact that our boss was prone to accept challenges. If he thought something couldn't be done, then he would try it. But our company had still been a prop for his illegal activities, and we had all been fooled!

料事如神的預(yù)言者
　　我的老板是個料事如神的預(yù)言者。在他宣布提高生產(chǎn)力、使公司更加賺錢的好處時，他說的像寫散文一樣，好象他什么事情都會宣傳，我們只好聽他的。不管他想表示什么，他說的話總是很深刻，總是能激勵我們馬上提高生產(chǎn)力。而且他的預(yù)言總是對的，他的宣傳使我們公司的成功能得以延續(xù)，后來公司的光明前途才突然停止了。我們的老板被起訴支持我們的公司掩護(hù)拐賣兒童。
　　這事被發(fā)覺是因為警察看到我們的老板從一個警察密探那里接受了綁架市長天才兒童的建議。綁架并沒有發(fā)生，但是破壞已經(jīng)造成，我們失去了我們的老板，那個預(yù)言者和英雄，公司也給弄垮了。我們所有擴(kuò)散過老板的宣言的人只能不相信地?fù)u搖頭，我們不能相信這樣一個強(qiáng)人會同時卷入這種邪惡的交易，因為發(fā)展我們的公司他是功不可沒的。只有少數(shù)幾個人想到了這么一個事實，那就是我們的老板傾向于接受挑戰(zhàn)。如果是他認(rèn)為不能做的事情，那么他就要試一試。但是我們公司畢竟支持過他的非法活動，我們都被愚弄了。
