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.______（46） So there I was sitting outside the university's auditorium, waiting for the president of PePsiCo. I could hear him talking to the students.., and talking, and talking.______（47） 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.______（48）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.______（49） 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______（50）When things need to happen, you either have the nerve to act or you don't.
