付出超过所得带来的益处

Since going the extra mile can involve hardship由于想要向前迈进必须付出辛苦的代价，

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.

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。

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.

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。

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.

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。

Give when you get. Whenever you get a little, give a little. There's a couple ways to pull this off: You can implement it yourself (donating an older shirt when you splurge for a new shirt, etc), or support companies that are passionate, good-hearted (really fun) do-gooders.Doesn't get much better than that, does it?

当你得到时就给予。无论何时只要你得到了一点点，那就给予一点点。可以有很多种方法：你可以自己去做(比如当你买了一件新衬衫时可以捐出一件旧衬衫)或支持有激情的公司、热心肠的好人。还有什么比这更好的呢?
