　　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．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 it．You can’t live by it．All you can do is just live．

　　注：crash撞击　reaction反应　witness目击　tragedy悲剧　tolerant宽容的　precious珍贵的　take－for granted认为——是当然的
