One day, six brothers of Jane’s family got reunited; they were each talked about their own ambitions.
Number one reckoned, in one’s life time wealth is the most important. However, number two thought “reputation” and number three chose “authority”.
After listening to these, number four disapproved of his three brother’s ideas, he deemed:” Having money which you do not know how to utilize it, then you only a miser; gained reputation but you cannot help people, it is meaningless; the one who owns power could always caused jealousness. So I think I would rather be “prominent”. If one can has outstanding performance in the society, he would certainly be distinguished and respected.
Summed up their aspirations, number five uttered: “Money, Reputation, Power and remarkable performance, these all are not the supreme life’s achievements nor it meant you could be succeed. So I want to be “successful”. In one’s life time only the brilliant career which can cheer our children and grandchildren up, certainly lure friends to its shores and even the society treat us with great respect. It is the real success.
Number six remained silent until the last minute he said: “I hope in the future I could be one of the “harmonious members” in our family, if any of you involved in money issue, I am able to intercede with the disputation. If some of you were slander, I can deal with defence. Number three is too powerful who may easily build up enemies, I am capable of helping him to tackle the problems; number four is pretty excellent, I might help him with propaganda which can make him gain more popularity; number five is the most gratify, but I do not have any other competence to make him better, so I can only follow his success as well as to express my support to him.
