　　“Maybe I'll just move him right out the door,” the boss replied. Ray was very glad and no longer worried. The boss was mad at Don now, not at him. Sure enough, within a month of that meeting, Don was looking for a new job. “Serves him right,” Ray thought. Unfortunately, the guy who was brought in to take Don's place wasn't much better.

　　Well, then an astonishing thing happened. Ray's department was working on a box design for a toy. A new employee named Jack was doing the artwork. He had designed something in bright red and blue. Ray looked at it and said, “Sorry. Red and blue is not good. Change it to brown and purple.” Actually, the design was very nice. But Ray didn’t want Jack to get too proud. He also wanted him to know who was in charge. Jack wasn't happy about it, but he changed everything to brown and purple.

　　Two weeks later, 500,000 new brown and purple boxes arrived from the printing company. While Ray was leading a staff meeting, the boss came bursting in.

　　“What is this?” he shouted, waving one of the new boxes. “You call this artwork? Look at these ridiculous colors! This is the ugliest box I've ever seen. Who did this, anyway?”

　　All eyes, except Jack's were upon Ray. Then Jack spoke. “I did, sir,” he said, “I'm sorry you don't like it. I'll try to do better next time.”

　　Ray was deeply touched by Jack's act of mercy. And it changed his life.
