When I drive to work in the morning, I usually meet three young men selling newspapers. Each of them has their own strategy for selling newspapers. But one of them always sells the papers first. In fact, the other two were in a much better position than he was. As I passed the newsman day after day, I gradually realized that the man's success had nothing to do with his position of choice
The first newspaperman, always standing at the t-junction, was always a sad face. As the passenger beckoned for the newspaper, he walked slowly to it, jamming it stiffly into the window as the customer began to see his trademark bitter face. If it rains, it will be difficult to find him. Generally, you can't buy his newspaper on rainy days. I don't blame him, but when I was desperate to buy a newspaper and couldn't see it, I couldn't stand his attitude. So I never bought newspapers from him again.
The second newspaperman, standing at the intersection, the traffic light brought him a lot of convenience. Once the driver was stopped by a red light, he ran up and down beside the parked motorcade, Shouting the name of the newspaper he was selling. I tried to buy a newspaper from him several times, but failed because he was always busy running and it was difficult to lock him in. I waved and shouted, but he never seemed to notice me.
The third vendor is always standing in the middle of a busy street. Keep his legs slightly apart to keep him standing. He kept several newspapers in his hands on his chest, so that drivers and passengers could catch a glimpse of the headlines as they passed him. He never follows the traffic. He always waits for his customers to come up to him. He greeted everyone who passed him with a cheerful good morning greeting and a big smile lit up his face as someone slowed down to buy a newspaper. I was impressed by his friendly manner. As I drove away, he shouted behind me, thank you! Have a happy day! See you tomorrow! He always managed to make the words clear and sweet within a few seconds of selling the newspaper.
Yes, the third vendor is my favorite. It's no big deal, you'd say. Just sell a newspaper. But there's a lot to be learned from the three newspaper vendors:
Your job may not be your dream job, but you can count on what you do today to make yourself feel fulfilled and happy.
Even a few seconds can make a big impression, so don't ignore your words or actions just because it's too short.
You can't do all the good things with good returns, but bad behavior is bound to lead to bad returns.
A thankful heart, a sweet smile, and a brief greeting, though all of them are the smallest expressions, will return more than you ever imagined.
The best way to beat your competitors is to offer better services.
It rained again this morning. The first vendor didn't know where to hide. The second seller, carrying the soggy paper, continued to run up and down the traffic. A third seller, still standing in his place, was wearing a bright raincoat. The newspaper on his chest was hidden under a transparent plastic sheet.
