Imagine a plane
2、 full of smoke. Imagine an engine going clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack. It sounds scary.想像一个大爆炸,当你在三千多英尺的高空;想像机舱内布满黑烟,想像引擎发出喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦的声响,听起来很可怕。Well I had a unique seat that day. I was sitting in 1D. I was the only one who can talk to the flight attendants. So I looked at them
3、right away, 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.那天我的位置很特別,我坐在1D,我是唯一可以和空服员说话的人,于是我立刻看着他们,他们说,;没问题,我们可能撞上鸟了。; 机长已经把机头转向,我们离目的地很近,已经可以看到曼哈顿了。Two minutes later, 3 things happened at
4、the same time. The pilot lines up the plane with the Hudson River. That's usually not the route. He turns off the engines. Now imagine being in a plane with no sound. And then he says 3 words-the most unemotional 3 words I've ever heard. He says, &Brace for impact.&两分钟以后,三件事情同时发生:机长把飞机对齐哈德逊河
5、,一般的航道可不是这样。他关上引擎。想像坐在一架没有声音的飞机上。然后他说了几个字,我听过最不带情绪的几个字,他说,;即将迫降,小心冲击。;I didn't have to talk to the flight attendant anymore. I could see in her eyes, it was terror. Life was over.我不用再问空服员什么了。我可以在她眼神里看到恐惧,人生结束了。Now I want to share with you 3 things I learned about myself that day.现在我想和你们分享那天我所学到的
6、三件事。I leant that it all changes in an instant. We have this bucket list, we have these things we want to do in life, and I thought about all the people I wanted to reach out to that I didn't, all the fences I wanted to mend, all the experiences I wanted to have and I never did. As I thought abou
7、t that later on, I came up with a saying, which is, &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.在那一瞬间内,一切都改变了。我们的人生目标清单,那些我们想做的事,所有那些我想联络却没有联络的
8、人,那些我想修补的围墙,人际关系,所有我想经历却没有经历的事。之后我回想那些事,我想到一句话,那就是,;我收藏的酒都很差。; 因为如果酒已成熟,分享对象也有,我早就把把酒翻开了。我不想再把生命中的任何事延后,这种紧迫感、目标性改变了我的生命。The second thing I learnt that day - and this is as we clear the George Washington bridge, which was by not a lot - I thought about, wow, I really feel one real regret, I've l
9、ived a good life. In my own humanity and mistaked, I've tired to get better at everything I tried. But in my humanity, I also allow my ego to get in. And I regretted the time I wasted on things that did not matter with people that matter. And I thought about my relationship with my wife, my frie
10、nds, with people. And after, as I reflected on that, I decided to eliminate negative energy from my life. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better. I've not had a fight with my wife in 2 years. It feels great. I no longer try to be right; I choose to be happy.那天我学到的第二件事是,正当我们通过乔治华盛顿大桥,那也没
11、过多久,我想,哇,我有一件真正懊悔的事。虽然我有人性缺点,也犯了些错,但我生活得其实不错。我试着把每件事做得更好。但因为人性,我难免有些自我中心,我懊悔竟然花了许多时间,和生命中重要的人讨论那些不重要的事。我想到我和妻子、朋友及人们的关系,之后,回想这件事时,我决定除掉我人生中的负面情绪。还没完全做到,但确实好多了。过去两年我从未和妻子吵架,感觉很好,我不再尝试争论对错,我选择快乐。The third thing I learned - and this's as you mental clock starts going, &15, 14, 13.& You can see the
12、water coming. I'm saying, &Please blow up.& I don't want this thing to break in 20 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 ver
13、y 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.我所学到的第三件事是,当你脑中的始终开始倒数;15,14,13;,看到水开始涌入,心想,;拜托爆炸吧!; 我不希望这东西碎成20片,就像纪录片中看到的那样。当我们逐渐下沉,我突然感觉到,哇,死亡并不可怕,就像是我们一生一直在为此做准备,但很令人悲伤。我不想
14、就这样离开,我热爱我的生命。这个悲伤的主要来源是,我只期待一件事,我只希望能看到孩子长大。About a month later, I was at a perfmance by my daugter - first-grade, not much artistic talent. yet. And I 'm balling, I'm crying, like a little kid. And it made all the sense in the world to me. I realized at that point by connecting those two d
15、ots, that the only thing that matters in my life is being a great dad. Above all, above all, the only goal I have in life is to be a good dad.一个月后,我参加女儿的表演,她一年级,没什么艺术天份,就算如此。我泪流满面,像个孩子,这让我的世界重新有了意义。当当时我意识到,将这两件事连接起来,其实我生命中唯一重要的事,就是成为一个好父亲,比任何事都重要,比任何事都重要,我人生中唯一的目标就是做个好父亲。I was given the gift of a mi
16、racle, 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.那天我经历了一个奇迹,我活下來了。我还得到另一个启示,像是看见自己的未来再回來,改变自己的人生。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
