a big
explosion as you climb through three thousand ft imagine a plane full of smoke
imagine an engine going clack clack clack clack clack clack clack
and they said no problem we probably hit some birds the pilot had already turned the plane around and we weren 't that far you could see
manhattan two minutes later three things happened at the same time
the pilot lines up the plane with the
hudson river that 's usually not the route
could see in her eyes it was
terror life was over now i want to share with you three things i
learned about myself that day i
learned that it all changes in an instant
as i thought about that later on i came up with a
saying which is i collect bad wines because if the wine is ready and the person is there i 'm
opening it i no longer want to
postpone anything in life and that urgency that purpose has really changed my life
the second thing i
learned that day and this is as we clear the george washington
bridge which was by not a lot
and i thought about my
relationship with my wife with my friends with people and after as i reflected on that i
decided to
eliminatenegativeenergy from my life it 's not perfect but it 's a lot better
the third thing i
learned and this is as your
mental clock starts going fifteen fourteen thirteen you can see the water coming i 'm
saying please blow up i don 't want this thing to break in twenty pieces like you 've seen in those documentaries and as we 're coming down i had a sense of
wow dying is not scary it 's almost like we 've been preparing for it our whole lives but it was very sad i didn 't want to go i love my life
and that
sadness really framed in one thought which is i only wish for one thing i only wish i could see my kids grow up about a month later i was at a
performance by my daughter first grader not much
artistic talent
i was given the gift of a
miracle of not dying that day i was given another gift
which was to be able to see into the future and come back and live
differently i
challenge you guys that are flying today
imagine the same thing happens on your plane and please don 't but imagine and how would you change what would you get done that you 're
waiting to get done because you think you 'll be here forever how would you change your relationships and the
negativeenergy in them and more than anything are you being the best parent you can thank you
