In the market behind his home, there is a peddler who sells antiques, jade, and folk crafts. His reputation spreads far and wide because the first thing he sells every day, regardless of the price, is sold at cost. The philosophy of "the market does not make money" makes his stall line up every morning to buy his first thing. One day, I saw an Indian trumpet at his stall. I got up early the next day to buy it, and found that some people were already queuing in front of the stall. I asked the people in line: "Since only the first thing that the market opens doesn't make money, what are you doing behind the queue?" They said, "Usually when the door opens, the first thing everyone buys, the boss doesn't make money." of."

I asked: "How do you know that the boss didn't earn your money?" "He has been here for a long time, and his credit is very reliable." Everyone said in unison. That day I did get the Indian speaker I wanted. Yesterday he offered a price of 1200 yuan, but today I bought it for only 500 yuan at the price of "no profit at the opening of the market". "Why do you have the idea that the first item in the market doesn't make money?" I asked the peddler once.He said: "The most important thing is to be grateful! Think about it, antique jade is not a necessity of life. Everyone is willing to spend money to buy my things so that I can live. So I set this rule many years ago. Every day Express my gratitude to customers."

The peddler himself could not have imagined that his gratitude made his business get more rewards, and he almost became a legend in the market. Later, the peddler moved to another place, and I still think of him often.I thought that if a person has a little heart to benefit others, it is worth remembering.And if a person has some unique thoughts and viewpoints, he will not be easily overwhelmed by the trend.
