Carolyn Stradley is the founder of C&S Paving Ine.(铺路公司)in Atlanta, USA.In the following account, she recalls the job that challenged her and skill but left her flying high.

“When the Atlanta Airport was under in 1979,we were a new company struggling to make it.National Car Rental wanted to have 2500 square meters of dirt paved the cars could be on site the airport opened,and the official opening was only ten days away! other local paving company wanted to do the job, it couldn’t be done in such a short time.”

“Because we were new and really needed the work,we were to try harder.We gave National Car Rental our offer and our best effort to get the job finished within ten days.We also them that if we failed,they would be no worse off, they had plenty to gain if we succeeded.”

“We got the job and immediately went into .Working at night needed lights,so I rented a machine to produce electricity for the site. Our challenge was to keep the rock mixture 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. ,I got a special to rent fire engine hoses(消防水龙带)and connect them to nearby hydrants(消防);then I held one of those hoses to down the rock.”

“Those ten days were filled with challenges that one creative idea after another.Nine days later,the night before the airport opened,National Car Rental was the company that had cars on the parking lot.”

“The key to our success was having the to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done.”
