【美国人物志】保罗•尼尔•阿代尔 (10/11)
保罗•尼尔•阿代尔Red Adair——著名的消防员，行走于全世界，每每出现在如地狱一般炎热的火场，去扑灭熊熊燃烧的大火。他的公司在伊拉克军队被击退时,曾奉召扑灭科威特的油田大火,他对这个重要的真理可是一点也不陌生。他是这样说的:人生不是把事情做好,而是努力把事情做好。Hints:

Kuwaithttp://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201211/201211190414111981543.mp3Red Adair had spent his 76th birthday in Kuwait working side by side with his crew. When asked when he might retire, he told reporters: "Retire? I do not know what that word means. As long as a man is able to work, and he is productive out there and he feels good, keep at it."
Still, Red Adair finally did retire in 1994. At that time, he joked about where he would end up when he died. He said he hoped to be in Heaven. But he said this about Hell: "I have made a deal with the devil. He said he is going to give me an air-conditioned place when I go down there, if I go there so I won't put all the fires out."
