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 imagination and skill but left her flying high.
“When the Atlanta Airport was under construction in 1979, we were a new company struggling to make it. National Car Rental wanted to have 2,500 square meters of dirt paved so the cars could be on site when the airport opened, and the official opening was only ten days away! No other local paving company wanted to do the job, stating it couldn’t be done in such a short time.
“Because we were new and really needed the work, we were willing to try harder. We gave National Car Rental our offer and promised our best effort to get the job finished within ten days. We also reminded them that if we failed, they would be no worse off, but they had plenty to gain if we succeeded.
“We got the job and immediately went into action. Working at night needed lights, so I rented a machine to produce electricity for the site. Our next challenge was to keep the rock mixture wet enough. All the available water wagons （洒水车） were rented out for the airport construction, and we certainly couldn’t afford to buy a new one. Instead, I got a special permit to rent fire engine hoses （消防水龙带） and connect them to nearby hydrants （消防栓）; then I personally held one of those hoses to water down the rock.
“Those ten days were filled with challenges that required one creative idea after another. Nine days later, the night before the airport opened, National Car Rental was the only company that had cars on the parking lot.
“The key to our success was having the courage to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done.”

Carolyn Stradley是美国亚特兰大C&S铺路公司的创建者。在接下去的文章中，她回忆了她曾经的工作，那份挑战她的想象力与技能，并最终使她走向事业巅峰的工作。
“1979年，亚特兰大机场还在建设当中，我们的公司也全力拼搏参与其中。国家汽车租赁公司希望铺设2500平米面积，从而在机场开始使用时，可以有地方供租赁汽车停放之用。那时，距离官方机场开放仅剩下10天时间了。没有任何一家当地的铺路公司愿意接下这项任务，他们都觉得在这样有限的时间里，
完成工作是不可能的。
“我们的公司刚刚成立不久，我们需要有项目，我们也很愿意为了更多的工作机会付出比别人更多的努力。我们向国家汽车租赁提出了我们愿意接下这个任务，并保证我们将尽最大的努力在10天内完成这项工作。我们也提醒他们，如果我们不能按时完成任务，他们也不会有损失。而一旦我们成功了，他们的的收益将及其可观。
“我们最终得到了这个机会，并很快开始行动。在晚上工作需要照明，于是我租了一台机器为工地供电。我们的另一个挑战在于，我们必须是混凝土变得足够潮湿。可是所有可用的洒水车都已被租赁用于机场建设了，我们也根本买不起一辆新的洒水车。于是，我得到特许，借了消防水龙带，把它们与附近的一个消防栓连接在一起。然后，我同施工队员们一起，扛上校方水龙带，用水浇淋岩石地面。
“那十天充满挑战，需要一个又一个有创造性的想法来解决。9天后，在机场开放的前一个晚上，国家汽车租赁成了唯一一个有停车场停放供租赁汽车的公司。
我们成功的秘诀在于，我们有勇气接受任何工作的挑战，并创造性的完成任务。
