I the first sock shop that caught my eye, and , not more than 17, came forward. "What can I do for you, sir?" "I wish to a pair of socks." glowed. "Did you know that you had come into in the world to buy socks?" I had not been that, as my entrance had been accidental. "Come with me,” said the boy happily. He began to down from the shelves box after box.

" , boy, I'm going to buy only one pair!" "I know that, but I want you to see how beautiful these are. Aren't they wonderful?" There was an expression of joy, he were revealing(透露) to me the of his religion. I became far more interested in him than in the socks. "My friend," said I, "if this is the enthusiasm from freshness, and you can keep it up , in ten years you’ll own every sock in the United States."

When some clerk does notice you, you are made to feel as if you were interrupting him. possibly that very clerk who is now so began his career with enthusiasm. The freshness ; he became a mechanical salesman.

I’ve observed such change in the lives of so many men in so many occupations that I've come to the that the fastest road to failure is to do things mechanically.
