A television journalist talked to three of the most important people in America. One was a rich banker(银行家), another owned(拥有) one of the biggest companies in the world and the third owned many buildings in New York.
The journalist talked to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important?” the journalist asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few minutes and then said, “I think anyone who is invited(邀请) to the White House to meet the President（总统） of the United States is really important.”
Then the journalist asked the owner of the very big company. “Do you agree with him?” She asked.
The owner of the very big company said : “ No, I don’t. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’ll only be important if while you visited the President, there was a telephone call from the President of another great country, and the President of the United States said he was very busy and he couldn’t answer it.”
The journalist turned to the owner of many buildings. “Do you agree with that?”
“No, I don’t. I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
