One of the things I always believed is that no matter how bad something is, you can 36 something valuable out of it. The 37 I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.
I hear older people 38 about the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Kennedy’s being murdered and how greatly those events 39 them in their lives. For my 40, the tragedy of September 11 can be 41 with that of Pearl Harbor. We will be talking about the terrible effect 42 our country, and our lives as the single human being, for years to come.
It wasn’t until a few weeks 43 September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy. People seem 44 now, more understanding, more friendly. Little things that seemed to be such a bother before are no longer a 45 deal. Personally, I am more patient than I was. I realize life is too short and 46 to let myself get upset over unimportant things. Life is also too short to carry complaints and 47 I’ve become more forgiving and understanding. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. You know how we always say “48 you later”. One thing I’ve realized from September 11 is that you can’t ever say for sure. 49 change in the blink (眨眼) of an eye. People go to 50 and don’t come back. One minute they are living and the 51 minute they are not. And, it doesn’t 52 who you are because there is nothing you can do about it. We 53 know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the 54 of every minute we have.
You try to learn from what happened. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just 55.
