14.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 about 50miles from Oklahoma City,where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register 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 into 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 holiday meaningful.
Years later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day,and the battery 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 show room.
"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.

3.Derek Wayne has obtained a 30-year,fixed-rate home loan of 100,000with an annual interest rate of 7.5percent.Because the loan extends for such a lengthy period,the mortgage(抵押) company calculates a monthly payment that ensures it will get most of its interest back first.Thus in the beginning months,Wayne's principal payment-the amount he pays toward his actual loan-increases extremely slowly.
Let's analyze Wayne's early payments.Imagine that on December 15the Mauritanian Mortgage Corporation gives Wayne 100,000,and on January 15his initial payment is due.Throughout this first month,interest accumulates on the entire 100,000.On a yearly interest rate of 7.5%,Wayne's monthly rate is 0.625% or 7.5%divided by 12.Multiplying 100,000by 0.625% yields 625,the portion of Wayne's first monthly payment that is interest.So Wayne now owes 99,925.79 ( 100,625-699.21).His February interest payment will be 0.625% of 99,925.79.
By the time Wayne makes his last few payments,his monthly interest payment has decreased considerably.His balance following his 359th payment is 694.87,and 0.625% of that is about 4.34,his final interest payment.What was the total amount of interest Wayne paid?Multiplying 360months by 699.21equals 251,715.60,and subtracting 100,000(the loan amount) leaves 151,715.60-over 1.5times what he actually borrowed!
