One afternoon, Ava drove to her 4-year-old son’s kindergarten to pick him up. When she arrived, as usual, her son Noah came running and said, “Hi, Mom!” It brought a big smile to Ava’s face. “Did you have a good day, sweetie?” she asked. “Yes,” Noah replied.
“Alright, let’s get your things and go home,” Ava said. Noah sat down on one car seat in the back, carrying his school bag which contained books, candies, etc. Then, Ava started the car. “So tell me about the PE class today. Did you have fun?” Ava asked. Noah said he did and explained happily. Ava watched traffic while listening to him.
The mother and son were quiet for a couple of minutes. And Ava started to think about what to make for dinner. “How about having some pizza when we get home?” Ava asked Noah. When he didn’t answer, Ava wondered what he was thinking. She knew her son liked pizza, but maybe he wanted something else this time. “You like pizza, don’t you?” Ava asked. Still, Noah didn’t answer.
Ava looked over her shoulder, seeing Noah’s face turning red. He couldn’t speak at all. “Oh, my God! What happened?” Ava asked. She had just passed a four-ways top, and there was a wide, grassy shoulder on the road where she pulled off and jumped out of the car, She ran to the other side of the car and freed Noah from the car seat. His face was still bright red and he couldn’t speak, Clearly, he was choking (噎住)!
Ava cried out for help and called 911 while pounding her hand against Noah’s back, trying to save her son. But nothing was changing. Suddenly sat all man appeared next to them and took Noah from Ava’s arms. His truck was parked behind them. He held Noah with the boy’s back against his stomach. And, the man thrust (猛推) his hands into Noah’s abdomen (腹部), trying to remove whatever was choking him. Still, nothing happened. Then another family pulled over ahead of them.

2 . When I was nine years old，I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?
As I got a little older, I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼睑) and the sun hurts their eyes...The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.
When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.
