The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio.The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of heir wives.Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased.Maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read.Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach.I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed.I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I don’t?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well… that checkup (体检) I had several weeks ago … our doctor… did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me… am I dying?”
It took a moment for it all to sink in.then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms.“You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

The clever man said to her, “ Go and bring A-32 a seed(种子)from a home that has never known sadness. I will A-33 it to drive the sadness out of your life.” The woman went off at once to look A-34 that magical seed.
First, she came to a beautiful house, knocked at the door, and asked A-35 , “Excuse me, I am looking for a home that has never known sadness. Is this such a place? It is very important to me.”
They told her, “You’ve certainly come to the A-36 place,” and began to describe all the sad things that had recently happened to them.
The woman said to herself, “Who is able to A-37 these people that have had such sadness like me?” She stayed to cheer them up A-38 she went on looking for a home that had never known sadness.

Being a salesman, the most important thing is to understand people. You’ve got to know what they’re thinking. If you can figure that out, you can get them to do a lot. They come in with an idea about what they want. You get them taking about themselves, about what they like.
If it’s a man, you talk about football, or something like that. If it’s a woman, you ask her about fashions. That way they get comfortable with you. You ask them a lot of questions and get into the habit of saying yes.
In the end, you can put them into anything you want, if you’re really good. For example, if they need a little car for the city; you send them home a truck. Of course, I wouldn’t really do that. It wouldn’t be right. You’ve got to sell on this job, but you also have to be fair. It’s not fair to take advantage of people too much. There are some people in this business who’d do anything. But I don’t believe in that.
