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。

Wild Well ControlRed Adair developed modern methods to extinguish and cover burning oil wells. They became known in the industry as Wild Well Control techniques. In addition to explosives, the techniques involved large amounts of water and dirt. Adair also developed special equipment made of bronze metal to help extinguish oil well fires. The modern tools and his Wild Well Control techniques earned Red Adair and his crews the honor of being called the "best in the business."
Red Adair was known for not being afraid. He was also known for his sense of calm and safety. None of his workers were ever killed while putting out oil well or gas fires. He described his work this way: "It scares you all the noise, the rattling, the shaking. But the look on everyone's face, when you are finished and packing, it is the best smile in the world and there is nobody hurt, and the well is under control." |
