Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station (加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas. I took off ,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend's.We chatted on the way to the city,and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card. I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me.Soon afterward,I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful. Years later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In the late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day,and the battery (电池) was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom. "Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment,so when I got home,I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you,and it meant a lot,he said. "Thank you"-two powerful words.They're easy to say and mean so much. |
