10.Allow me to introduce you to Terry,a window salesman from England.If I could take you back about 20 years,you'd know Terry as a complete green hand,who was wet behind the ears in just about everything he attempted.A person couldn't sell false teeth to his own Granny,let alone he could compete with the other salespeople in the industry. You know,the kind who could sell snow to Eskimos.
Terry's boss decided to send him out on a practical field trip on his first day.So off he went,but he was extremely nervous.With his hands and his knees shaking,he approached the front door and knocked at is.And old woman appeared.After dozens of cups of tea and pieces of biscuits,the woman signed a contract and purchased over $7,000 worth of windows.
The woman had already talked with 6 excellent salesmen that week,all of whom offered her cheaper ones!That's right---Terry's price was the most expensive and he was also the most inexperienced salesman there ever was.
So,what happened then?Here comes the secret.The woman said she liked the young lad more than the others.That's all there was to it.She didn't care about the extra expense.Even the other salesmen couldn't persuade her to pay less than this young lad was asking for.
The truth is that the young lad left on the woman the first impression that shone brighter than any of the salesman's talk.First impressions count,not the sales techniques,not the low prices.The actual"personality"the kid honestly gave was all that was required.If you market your own products and services,consider what impression you are giving to others.If you appeal to them,then you've already done half of the work.If this means redesigning your presentation,then so be it.If this means going out of your way to be polite,helpful and giving the best possible shopping experience to your customers,the so be it.

7.Some years ago,writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events,feelings,and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words,but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all,isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old,I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley,well equipped with pens,a diary,and a camera.During the trip,I was busy recording every incident,name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively,dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there,I wandered out of my tent,diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon,and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen…
At that point,I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now,I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books,or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures,but not very often only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera,busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts,but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don't live to make memories--I just live,and the memories form themselves.
