成功的钥匙：付出超过所带来的益处－英语美文成功篇

 付出超过所得带来的益处

The Benefits of Doing More than You Are Paid For 由于想要向前迈进必须付出辛苦的代价，所以，此一过程有助于你察觉它所带来的各种好处。Since going the extra mile can involve hardship,it will help you to be conscious of all the different benefits it will bring. 报酬增加律The Law of Increasing Returns 你所付出的额外服务会为你带来更多的回报。想想看种植小麦的农夫吧!如果种植一株小麦只能收成一粒麦子，那 根本就是在浪费时间。但实际上从一株小麦上可收成许许多多的麦子。尽管有些小麦不会发芽，但无论农夫面临什么样 的困难，他的收成必定多出他所种植的好几倍。The quantity and quality of the extra service you render will come back to you greatly multiplied. Consider the farmer who plants a crop of wheat. If he harvested only one grain of wheat for each grain he planted,he'd be wasting his time. Instead every successful grain produces a stalk and a sheaf containing many more grains. Of course,a few don't sprout, but whatever problems a farmer may face, getting back many times more wheat grains then he or she planted isn't one of them. 这种情形同样也适用于你所提供的各种服务方面，如果 你付出价值100元的服务，则你不但能回收这100元，而且可 能会回收好几倍。而到底能回收多少，就必须看你是否抱持 着正确的心态而定了。 如果你是以心不甘情不愿的心态提供服务，那你可能得 不到任何回报，如果你只是从为自己谋取利益的角度提供服 务时则可能连你希望得到的利益也得不到。And so it is with everything you do in the service you render. If you render service worth a hundred dollars, chances are you will get back not only that one hundred dollar but perhaps ten times that-provided you have done so with the right mental attitude.If you render extra service unwillingly or resentfully,you will probably get nothing back. It's as if the farmer had sown his wheat on the interstate road instead of the fertile field. And if you render your service only with a sharp eye out for you own benefit, you will get nothing except perhaps a poke in that eye. 在一个多雨的午后，一位老妇人走进费城一家百货公司， 大多数的柜台人员都不理她，但有一位年轻人却问她是否能 为她做些什么。当她回答说只是在等雨停时，这位年轻人并有推销给她不需要的东西，虽然如此，这位销售人员并没有转身离去，反而拿给她一张椅子。One rainy afternoon an elderly lady walked into a Philadelphia department store.Most of the clerks ignored her,bet on solicitous young man asked if he could help her.When she replied that she was just waiting for the rain to end,he didn't try to sell her something she didn't try to sell her something she didn't want,and he didn't turn his back.Instead he brought her a chair.  雨停之底这位老妇人向这位年轻人说了声谢谢，并向他 要了一张名片，几个月之后这家店东收到一封信，信中要求派 这位年轻人往苏格兰收取装潢一整座城堡的订单2这封信就 是这位老妇人写的，而她正是美国钢铁大王卡内基的母亲。When the rain let up,the lady thanked the young man and asked for his card. A few months passed, and the owner of the store received a letter asking that this young man be sent to Scotland to take orders for furnishing an entire castle!The letter writer was the elderly lady for whom the clerk had provided a chair.She also happened to be Andrew Carnegie's mother. 当这位年轻人打包准备去苏格兰时，他已升格为这家百 货公司的合伙人了。这个例子是报酬增加律的最佳写照，而报酬增加原因，就在于他比别人付出更多的关心和礼貌。By the time the young clerk had his bags packed for Scotland,he was a prater in that department store.This was the result of the Law of Increasing Returns, all because he had shown a little concern and courtesy when no one else would.
