She became so busy helping other people that she A-40 about looking for a seed that would magically end her own sadness. She even never realized that her helping others had driven the sadness out of her life.
Being a salesman, the most important thing is to understand people. You’ve got to know what they’re thinking. If you can figure that out, you can get them to do a lot. They come in with an idea about what they want. You get them taking about themselves, about what they like.
If it’s a man, you talk about football, or something like that. If it’s a woman, you ask her about fashions. That way they get comfortable with you. You ask them a lot of questions and get into the habit of saying yes.
In the end, you can put them into anything you want, if you’re really good. For example, if they need a little car for the city; you send them home a truck. Of course, I wouldn’t really do that. It wouldn’t be right. You’ve got to sell on this job, but you also have to be fair. It’s not fair to take advantage of people too much. There are some people in this business who’d do anything. But I don’t believe in that.

First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility and of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, "No, you're not going out tonight," or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions! Friendly people are another thing I like about college. On the first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, "Are you a new student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said, "Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going." Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it!
