本文是Iacocca寫他挫折時候的'樣子
Youre about to read the story of a man whos had more than his share of successes. But along the way, there were some pretty bad times, too. In fact, when I look back on my thirty-eight years in the auto industry, the day I remember most vividly had nothing to do with new cars and promotions and profits.
I began my life as the son of immigrants, and I work my way up to the presidency of the Ford Motor Company. When I finally got there, I was on top of the world. But then fate said to me: Wait. Were not finished with you. Now youre going to find out what it feels like to get kicked off Mt. Everest!
On July 13, 1978, I was fired. I had been president of Ford for eight years and a Ford employee for thirty-two. I had never worked anywhere else. And now, suddenly, I was out of a job. It was gut-wrenching.
As you go through life, there are thousands of little forks in the road, and there are a few really big folks--- those moments of reckoning, moments of truth. This was mine as I wondered what to do. Should I pack it all in and retire? I was forty-four years old. I had already accomplished a great deal. I was financially secure. I could afford to play golf for the rest of my life.

There are times in everyones life when something constructive is born out of adversity. There are times when things seem so bad that youve got to grab your fate by the shoulders and shake it. (成功的疊言，in everyones life=首句限定;兩句關係：問題+解決方案)Im convinced it was that morning at the warehouse that pushed me to take on the presidency of Chrysler only a couple of weeks later.
