You Need Courage!

Shortly after I began a career in business,I learned that Carl Weatherup,president of
PepsiCo（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 sifting outside the university's auditorium,waiting for the president of
PepsiCo.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.

_________（4）
A:I began breathing again and we grabbed（霸占）an office right there at school and closed the door.
B:As I sat listening to him,I knew that I could trust him,and that he deserved every bit of loyalty I could give to him.
C:I became alarmed:his talk wasn't ending when it should have.
D:He said that it took nerve for me to interrupt him,and that nerve was the key to success in the business world.
E:I was told,however,that he was on a tight schedule and only had 15 minutes available after his talk to the business class.
F:I handed him the card then!turned and walked out the way I came.
