A taxi driver taught me a million-dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation.Motivational speakers charge thousands of dollars to give this kind of training to corporate executives (企業(yè)高管) and staff.It cost me a $12 taxi ride.
I had flown into Dallas for the only purpose of calling on a customer.Time was of the essence and my plan included a quick turnaround trip from and back to the airport.A spotless taxi pulled up.
The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door.As he got in the driver's seat,he mentioned that the neatly folded "Wall Street Journal" next to me was for my use.He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy.
Well!I looked around for a "Candid Camera"!Wouldn't you?I could not believe the service I was receiving!I took the opportunity to say, "Obviously you take great pride in your work.You must have a story to tell."
"You bet," he replied, "I used to be in Corporate America.But I got tired of thinking my best would never be good enough.I decided to find my niche in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be.I knew I would never be a rocket scientist,but I love driving cars,being of service and feeling like I have done a full day's work and done it well.So I became a taxi driver.One thing I know for sure,to be good in my business I could simply just meet the expectations of my passengers.But,to be GREAT in my business,I have to EXCEED the customer's expectations!I like both the sound and the return of being 'great' better than just getting by on 'average'".

2.In the city I live in,we have a small local national park full of trees.I like that place very much,although I do wish it was bigger.
One day,I was walking around in the park along a path (小路) when I saw a beautiful squirrel (松鼠) lying in the middle of the path.I stopped and found that there was something wrong with one of its legs.
Just at that time,a man with two little kids was behind me.They were my neighbors.They were going up the same path.I said hello to jye.aim.The dad asked me, "Why are you standing still here?" I said,"Look!Here is a beautiful squirrel,but...." Noticing the squirrel,one of the kids shouted, "Quickly dad,catch it for me.I want to put it in my birdcage." His brother nodded,asking their dad to catch the squirrel.
Then I stopped them."Please wait.Do you really want to catch it and put it into the birdcage?" My neighbor said, "Yes.I will catch it and take it home." I said angrily, "Animals are our friends and this is the last place in our city that the squirrel can live in.We must protect them.If we are kind to this tiny animal then we can start to be kind to bigger ones." My neighbor smiled and said,"You misunderstood me.I will take it home and cure (治療) it and when it is well,I will take it back to the park and set it free.Do you come long with me?"After hearing his words,I became happy.I followed him with the injured squirrel to his home.A few days later,when the squirrel was well,we took it back to the park and sent it free.
