克服障礙的「跨欄運動員」 / Hurdler

The Hurdler knows the path to innovation is strewn with obsta­cles and develops a knack for overcoming or outsmarting those roadblocks. When the 3M worker who invented Scotch tape decades ago had his idea initially rejected, he refused to give up. Staying within his $100 authorization limit, he signed a series of $99 purchase orders to pay for critical equipment needed to produce the first batch. His perseverance paid off, and 3M has reaped billions of dollars in cumulative profits because an ener­getic Hurdler was willing to bend the rules.
