Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.
Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don"t know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”
And all that the old bucket could say was, “I know I’m not very useful, but I can only do my best. I’m happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”
One day, the gardener heard that kind or conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”
Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare (光秃秃的)earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.

举一反三
the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business—
that the customer remains a customer.
to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.
Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the
implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big
in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.
In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in
profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).
The logic behind cultivating customer is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits. customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it
for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.

A Love Note To My Mom

I cannot thank you enough for 4 you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework. I wanted into the dining where you were buried 5 piles of law books. I was 6 .Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for 7 ?When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t known. Moms 8 be lawyers too. You smiled and said,“In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was ,that statement kept 9 in my ears. I watched as you faced the 10 of completing your studies, staring companies with Dad, while still being a 11 and a Mom if five kids. I was exhausted just watching you 12 .With your words of wisdom in my 13 mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world 14 .I set out to live my life filled with 15 ,seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I 16 found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) 17 one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your 18 , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and 19 meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m 20 it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones2,3 and of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones3 and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowned area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.
Meal Plans Available
♢ Continental Breakfast
♢ Breakfast and Dinner
♢ Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner
It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal(谷物类食品),bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally
part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.
