As a traffic safety consultant, I often gave talks to organizations on accident prevention. One night after I spoke to a PTA group, the program chairperson thanked me profusely and gave me a check for fifty dollars. “Giving these presentations is part of my job,” I said. “Could I donate the money to one of your courses?” “That would be wonderful,” she gushed. “We have just the program that could use it. We're trying to raise money so we can afford better speakers.”
作為交通安全顧問(wèn)我經(jīng)常給各種組織講如何預(yù)防交通事故。一天晚上,我給家長(zhǎng)教師協(xié)會(huì)講完話,主持人著實(shí)地感謝了我一番,并且給了我一張50美元的支票。我說(shuō):“做這樣的講演是我工作的一部分。我能不能把這筆錢捐給你們的課程?”她高興地說(shuō):“那太好了。我們正好有一個(gè)計(jì)劃可以用這筆錢。我們正在籌集資金,這樣就可以請(qǐng)好一點(diǎn)的講員?!?
