Lesson of Becoming a Great Employee
There was a young man who had ambitions to
work for a company because it paid very well
and was very prestigious. He prepared his
résumé and had several interviews. Eventually,
he was given an entry-level position. Then he
turned his ambition to his next goal—a
supervisor position that would afford him even
greater prestige and more pay. So he completed
the tasks he was given. He came in early some
mornings and stayed late so the boss would see
him putting in long hours.
After five years a supervisor position became
available. But, to the young man’s great dismay,
another employee, who had only worked for the
company for six months, was given the
promotion. The young man was very angry, and
he went to his boss and demanded an
explanation.
The wise boss said, “Before I answer your
questions, would you do a favor for me?”
“Yes, sure,” said the employee.
“Would you go to the store and buy some
oranges? My wife needs them.”
The young man agreed and went to the store.
When he returned, the boss asked, “What kind
of oranges did you buy?”
“I don’t know,” the young man answered. “You
just said to buy oranges, and these are
oranges. Here they are.”
The young man agreed and went to the store.
When he returned, the boss asked, “What kind of
oranges did you buy?”
“I don’t know,” the young man answered. “You just
said to buy oranges, and these are oranges. Here
they are.”
“Thank you,” said the boss.
“Now, please have a seat
and pay careful attention.”
Then the boss called in the employee who had
received the promotion and asked him to do the
same job. He readily agreed and went to the
store.
When he returned, the boss asked, “What kind of
oranges did you buy?”
“Well,” he replied, “the store had many varieties—
there were navel oranges, Valencia oranges, blood
oranges, tangerines, and many others, and I didn’t
know which kind to buy. But I remembered you
said your wife needed the oranges, so I called her.”
“She said she was having a party and that she
was going to make orange juice. So I asked the
grocer which of all these oranges would make
the best orange juice. He said the Valencia
orange was full of very sweet juice, so that’s
what I bought.”
“I dropped them by your home on my way back
to the office. Your wife was very pleased.”
“How much did they cost?” the boss asked.
“Well, that was another problem. I didn’t know
how many to buy, so I once again called your
wife and asked her how many guests she
was expecting.
“She said 20. I asked the grocer how many oranges
would be needed to make juice for 20 people, and it
was a lot. So, I asked the grocer if he could give me a
quantity discount, and he did! These oranges normally
cost 75 cents each, but I paid only 50 cents. Here is
your change and the receipt.”
The boss smiled and said, “Thank you; you
may go.”
He looked over at the young man who had
been watching. The young man stood up,
slumped his shoulders and said, “I see
what you mean,” as he walked dejectedly
out of the office.
What was the difference between these two
young men? They were both asked to buy
oranges, and they did. You might say that
one went the extra mile, or one was more
efficient, or one paid more attention to detail.
But the most important difference had
to do with real intent rather than just
going through the motions.
The first young man
was motivated by
money, position, and
prestige. He is
murmuring,
complaining for
injustice which make
him arrogant,
envious, self-
righteousness.
The second young man was
driven by an intense desire to
please his employer and an
inner commitment to be the
best employee he could
possibly be - and the outcome
was obvious. He is
very happy to serve
his boss and do the
commandments.
What kind of person or
employee you are?
Person motivated
by money,
position, and
prestige. He is
murmuring,
complaining for
injustice which
make him
arrogant, envious,
self-righteousness.
Person driven by an
intense desire to
please his employer
and an inner

very happy to serve
his boss and do the
commandments.
Philippians 2:14-15
14Do all things without murmurings
and disputings: 15That ye may be
blameless and harmless, the sons of
God, without rebuke, in the midst of a
crooked and perverse nation, among
whom ye shine as lights in the world;
1 Corinthians 16:13-14
13Be watchful, stand firm in the faith,
act like men, be strong. 13Let all that
you do be done in love.
Hebrews 6:10-12
10For God is not unjust so as to overlook
your work and the love that you have
shown for his name in serving the saints, as
you still do. 11And we desire each one of you
to show the same earnestness to have the
full assurance of hope until the end, 12so that
you may not be sluggish, but imitators of
those who through faith and patience inherit
the promises.
Become a God’s workers who exactly
know what it takes to become a TRULY
GREAT SERVANT THAT MAKE PLEASURE
TO OUR SUPREME, ALL-KNOWING BOSS.

Parable of the Orange A Lesson of Great Employee

  • 1. Lesson of Becoming a Great Employee
  • 2. There was a young man who had ambitions to work for a company because it paid very well and was very prestigious. He prepared his résumé and had several interviews. Eventually, he was given an entry-level position. Then he turned his ambition to his next goal—a supervisor position that would afford him even greater prestige and more pay. So he completed the tasks he was given. He came in early some mornings and stayed late so the boss would see him putting in long hours.
  • 3. After five years a supervisor position became available. But, to the young man’s great dismay, another employee, who had only worked for the company for six months, was given the promotion. The young man was very angry, and he went to his boss and demanded an explanation.
  • 4. The wise boss said, “Before I answer your questions, would you do a favor for me?” “Yes, sure,” said the employee. “Would you go to the store and buy some oranges? My wife needs them.”
  • 5. The young man agreed and went to the store. When he returned, the boss asked, “What kind of oranges did you buy?” “I don’t know,” the young man answered. “You just said to buy oranges, and these are oranges. Here they are.”
  • 6. The young man agreed and went to the store. When he returned, the boss asked, “What kind of oranges did you buy?” “I don’t know,” the young man answered. “You just said to buy oranges, and these are oranges. Here they are.” “Thank you,” said the boss. “Now, please have a seat and pay careful attention.”
  • 7. Then the boss called in the employee who had received the promotion and asked him to do the same job. He readily agreed and went to the store. When he returned, the boss asked, “What kind of oranges did you buy?”
  • 8. “Well,” he replied, “the store had many varieties— there were navel oranges, Valencia oranges, blood oranges, tangerines, and many others, and I didn’t know which kind to buy. But I remembered you said your wife needed the oranges, so I called her.”
  • 9. “She said she was having a party and that she was going to make orange juice. So I asked the grocer which of all these oranges would make the best orange juice. He said the Valencia orange was full of very sweet juice, so that’s what I bought.”
  • 10. “I dropped them by your home on my way back to the office. Your wife was very pleased.” “How much did they cost?” the boss asked. “Well, that was another problem. I didn’t know how many to buy, so I once again called your wife and asked her how many guests she was expecting.
  • 11. “She said 20. I asked the grocer how many oranges would be needed to make juice for 20 people, and it was a lot. So, I asked the grocer if he could give me a quantity discount, and he did! These oranges normally cost 75 cents each, but I paid only 50 cents. Here is your change and the receipt.” The boss smiled and said, “Thank you; you may go.”
  • 12. He looked over at the young man who had been watching. The young man stood up, slumped his shoulders and said, “I see what you mean,” as he walked dejectedly out of the office.
  • 13. What was the difference between these two young men? They were both asked to buy oranges, and they did. You might say that one went the extra mile, or one was more efficient, or one paid more attention to detail.
  • 14. But the most important difference had to do with real intent rather than just going through the motions.
  • 15. The first young man was motivated by money, position, and prestige. He is murmuring, complaining for injustice which make him arrogant, envious, self- righteousness.
  • 16. The second young man was driven by an intense desire to please his employer and an inner commitment to be the best employee he could possibly be - and the outcome was obvious. He is very happy to serve his boss and do the commandments.
  • 17. What kind of person or employee you are? Person motivated by money, position, and prestige. He is murmuring, complaining for injustice which make him arrogant, envious, self-righteousness. Person driven by an intense desire to please his employer and an inner commitment to be the best employee he could possibly be - and the outcome was obvious. He is very happy to serve his boss and do the commandments.
  • 18. Philippians 2:14-15 14Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
  • 19. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 13Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 13Let all that you do be done in love.
  • 20. Hebrews 6:10-12 10For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do. 11And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, 12so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
  • 21. Become a God’s workers who exactly know what it takes to become a TRULY GREAT SERVANT THAT MAKE PLEASURE TO OUR SUPREME, ALL-KNOWING BOSS.
