on
his
desk.
In
the
39

a
small
piece
of
paper

were
written

Carolyn
Stradley
is
the
founder
of
C&S
Paving
Inc.(
铺路公司
)in
Atlanta,
USA.
In
the
following
account,
she
recalls
the
job
that
Challenged
her
36
and
skill
but
left
her
flying
high.
When the
Atlanta Airport was under
37
in 1979, we were a new company
struggling to
make it. National Car
Rental wanted to have 2,500 square meters of dirt
paved
38
the cars
could be on site
39
the
airport opened, and the official opening was only
ten days away!
40
other local paving company wanted to do
the job,
41
it
couldn’t be done in such a
short time.
“Because we were new and
really needed the work, we w
ere
42
to try harder.
We gave
National Car Rental our offer
and
43
our best effort
to get the job finished within ten days.
We also
44
them that if we failed, they would be
no worse off,
45
they had plenty
to gain if
we succeeded.
“We
g
ot
the
job
an
immediately
went
into
46
.
Working
at
night
needed
lights,
so
I
rented a machine to
produce electricity for the site. Our
47
challenge was to keep the rock
mixture
48
enough. All the available water wagon
(

) were rented out for
the airport
construction, and we

49
, I got a special
50
to
rent
fire
engine
hoses
(

)
and
connect
them
to
nearby
hydrants
(

；

I
51
held one of
those hoses to
52
down the rock.
“Those
ten
days
were
filled
with
challenges
that
53
one
creative
idea
after
another.
Nine
days
later,
the
night
before
the
airport
opened,
National
Car
Rental
was
the
54
company that had cars on
the parking lot.
“The key to our
success was having the
55
to take on any job and then being
creative in our
approach to getting it
done.”
