Shortly after I began a career in business,I learned that Carl Weatherup,president of
Pepsi Co（百事可乐公司）,was speaking at the University of Colorado. I tracked down the
person handling his schedule and managed to get myself an appointment._____(1)
So there I was sitting outside the university"s auditorium,waiting for the president of
Pepsi Co. I could hear him talking to the students… and talking,and talking.
_____(2)He was now five minutes over,which dropped my time with him down to
10 minutes.Decision time.
I wrote a note on the back of my business card,reminding him that he had a meeting.
"You have a meeting with Jeff Hoye at 2:30 p. m."I took a deep breath,pushed open the
doors of the auditorium and walked straight up the middle aisle（过道）toward him as he
talked .Mr. Weatherup stopped._____(3)Just before I reached the door,I heard
him tell the group that he was running late.He thanked them for their attention,wished
them luck and walked out to where I was now sitting,holding my breath.
He looked at the card and then at me."Let me guess,"he said."You"re Jeff."He
smiled._____(4)
He spent the next 30 minutes offering me his time,some wonderful stories that I still
use,and an invitation to visit him and his group in New York.But what he gave me that I
value the most was the encouragement to continue to do as I had done._____(5)
When things need to happen,you either have the nerve to act or you don"t. ________（3）
