Once a taxi driver taught me a lesson.Normally it costs hundreds of dollars to learn in school and I can’t1 .But I just paid $10 for the taxi ride.
I had flown to London to attend a meeting.I 2 to stay there for 3 days.A clean taxi appeared.The driver rushed to open the door for me and make sure I was 3 seated before he closed the door.As he got into the taxi,he mentioned that the neatly folded newspaper 4 me was for my use.He then showed me several tapes and asked me which of 5 I would enjoy.Well! I couldn’t believe the service I was receiving! I said,“I believe you are 6 your work.You must have a story to tell.”
“Right,” he replied,“I used to be in a big company.And I got tired of thinking my best would never be good enough.I 7 to find a job that I could be the best.I knew I would never be a rocket scientist,but I love driving cars and 8 service.Then I become a taxi driver.One thing I know for sure,to be good in my business I could simply just meet the expectations of my 9 .But,to be great in my business,I have to do more than they 10 ! I like both the money and pleasure of being great.”
Did I tip(给小费)him a lot?Of course!
