　　One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is , you can take something positive out of it . The one time I wasn‟t sure of that was on September 11.

　　I usually wake up at 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning . That day , I happened to wake up earlier . I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center . My first reaction was that it was a terrible accident . Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing an act of terrorism.

　　My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over and over again . When I watched family members looking for their loved ones , the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget . I couldn‟t understand how something this terrible could have happened . It wasn‟t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy . People seem different now , more understanding , more tolerant . Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things . Personally , I am more tolerant than I was . I realize life is too short , and too precious , to let myself get worried over small things . I‟ve learned also that you can‟t take things for granted . Things change in the blink of an eye . People go to work and don‟t come back . One moment they‟re living and the next minute they‟re not . And , it doesn‟t matter who you are , there is nothing you can do about it . We never know when our time here will be over , so we all need to make the most of every minute we have .

　　You try to learn from what happened . You can‟t be used up by it . You can‟t live by it . All you can do is just live .
