Imagine a plane full of smoke.

Imagine an engine going clack, clack, clack.

ืงืœืง, ืงืœืง, ืงืœืง, ืงืœืง.

It sounds scary.

00:31
Well, I had a unique seat that day.

I was the only one who could talk to the flight attendants.

ื”ื‘ื˜ืชื™ ื‘ื”ื ืžื™ื™ื“,
00:38
So I looked at them right away,

ื•ื”ื ืืžืจื•, "ืื™ืŸ ื‘ืขื™ื™ื”. ื›ื ืจืื” ืฉืคื’ืขื ื• ื‘ื›ืžื” ืฆื™ืคื•ืจื™ื."

and they said, "No problem. We probably hit some birds."

ื”ื˜ื™ื™ืก ื›ื‘ืจ ืกื•ื‘ื‘ ืืช ื”ืžื˜ื•ืก,
00:43
The pilot had already turned the plane around,

2172
ื•ืœื ื”ื™ื™ื ื• ืจื—ื•ืงื™ื.
00:45
and we weren't that far.
10
45215

00:46
You could see Manhattan.

ืืคืฉืจ ื”ื™ื” ืœืจืื•ืช ืืช ืžื ื”ื˜ืŸ.
ืื—ืจื™ ืฉืชื™ ื“ืงื•ืช,
00:49
Two minutes later,
12
49379
1207
00:50
three things happened at the same time.

ืฉืœื•ืฉื” ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืงืจื• ื‘ื•-ื–ืžื ื™ืช.

00:54
The pilot lines up the plane with the Hudson River.

3080
ื–ื” ืœื ื”ื ืชื™ื‘ ื‘ื“ืจืš ื›ืœืœ.
00:58
That's usually not the route.

He turns off the engines.

1731
ื”ื•ื ืžื›ื‘ื” ืืช ื”ืžื ื•ืขื™ื.
01:04
Now, imagine being in a plane with no sound.
18

ืขื›ืฉื™ื• ื“ืžื™ื™ื ื• ืฉืืชื ื‘ืžื˜ื•ืก ืœืœื ืฆืœื™ืœ.
01:07
And then he says three words.
19

2153
ื•ืื– ื”ื•ื ืื•ืžืจ ืฉืœื•ืฉ ืžื™ืœื™ื -
ืฉืœื•ืฉ ื”ืžื™ืœื™ื ื”ื›ื™ ื ื˜ื•ืœื•ืช ืจื’ืฉ ืฉืื™ ืคืขื ืฉืžืขืชื™.
01:10
The most unemotional three words I've ever heard.
20
70158
2378
ื”ื•ื ืื•ืžืจ, "ืชืชื›ื•ื ื ื• ืœื”ืชื ื’ืฉื•ืช."
01:13
He says, "Brace for impact."
21
73015

01:16
I didn't have to talk to the flight attendant anymore.
22

ืœื ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ืฆืจื™ืš ืœื“ื‘ืจ ืขื ื”ื“ื™ื™ืœืช ื™ื•ืชืจ.

I could see in her eyes, it was terror.

ื™ื›ื•ืœืชื™ ืœืจืื•ืช ื‘ืขื™ื ื™ื™ื”,
ื–ื• ื”ื™ืชื” ืื™ืžื”. ื”ืกื•ืฃ ื”ื’ื™ืข.
01:24
Life was over.
25

01:26
Now I want to share with you three things I learned about myself that day.
26
86260
4351
ืขื›ืฉื™ื• ืื ื™ ืจื•ืฆื” ืœืฉืชืฃ ืืชื›ื ื‘ืฉืœื•ืฉื” ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืฉืœืžื“ืชื™ ืขืœ ืขืฆืžื™ ื‘ืื•ืชื• ื™ื•ื.
01:31
I learned that it all changes in an instant.
27
91450
2109
ืœืžื“ืชื™ ืฉื”ื›ืœ ืžืฉืชื ื” ื‘ืจื’ืข.
01:34
We have this bucket list,
28
94942
1722
ื™ืฉ ืœื ื• ืกื•ื’ ืฉืœ ืจืฉื™ืžืช ืžืฉื™ืžื•ืช,
01:36
we have these things we want to do in life,
29
96688
2343
ื•ื™ืฉ ืœื ื• ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืžืกื•ื™ื™ืžื™ื ืฉืื ื• ืจื•ืฆื™ื ืœืขืฉื•ืช ื‘ื—ื™ื™ื,
ื•ื—ืฉื‘ืชื™ ืขืœ ื›ืœ ื”ืื ืฉื™ื ืฉืจืฆื™ืชื™ ืœื”ื•ืฉื™ื˜ ืืœื™ื”ื ื™ื“ ื•ืœื ื”ื•ืฉื˜ืชื™,
01:39
and I thought about all the people I wanted to reach out to that I didn't,
30
99055
3517
ื›ืœ ื”ืžืขื’ืœื™ื ืฉืจืฆื™ืชื™ ืœืกื’ื•ืจ,
01:42
all the fences I wanted to mend,
31
102596
2132
01:44
all the experiences I wanted to have and I never did.
32
104752
2615
ื›ืœ ื”ื—ื•ื•ื™ื•ืช ืฉืจืฆื™ืชื™ ืœื—ื•ื•ืช ื•ืœื ื—ื•ื•ื™ืชื™.
ื›ืฉื—ืฉื‘ืชื™ ืขืœ ื–ื” ืื—ืจ ื›ืš,
01:48
As I thought about that later on,
33
108523
2411
01:50
I came up with a saying,
34
110958
1278
ื”ืžืฆืืชื™ ืคืชื’ื,
01:52
which is, "I collect bad wines."
35
112260
3073
ื•ื”ื•ื, "ืื ื™ ืื•ืกืฃ ื™ื™ื ื•ืช ื’ืจื•ืขื™ื."
01:55
Because if the wine is ready and the person is there, I'm opening it.
36
115357
3309
ื›ื™ ืื ื”ื™ื™ืŸ ืžื•ื›ืŸ ื•ื”ืื“ื ื ืžืฆื ืฉื, ืื ื™ ืคื•ืชื— ืื•ืชื•.
01:58
I no longer want to postpone anything in life.
37
118690
2652
ืื™ื ื ื™ ืจื•ืฆื” ืœื“ื—ื•ืช ืืฃ ื“ื‘ืจ ื‘ื—ื™ื™ื ื™ื•ืชืจ.
02:01
And that urgency, that purpose, has really changed my life.
38
121932
3217
ื•ื”ื“ื—ื™ืคื•ืช ื”ื–ื”, ื”ืžื˜ืจื”,
ืฉื™ื ื” ืืช ื—ื™ื™ ืžืžืฉ.
02:06
The second thing I learned that day --
39
126498
2082
ื”ื“ื‘ืจ ื”ืฉื ื™ ืฉืœืžื“ืชื™ ื‘ืื•ืชื• ื™ื•ื -
02:08
and this is as we clear the George Washington Bridge,
40
128604
2632
ื•ื–ื” ื›ืืฉืจ ืื ื—ื ื• ืขื•ื‘ืจื™ื ื‘ืฉืœื•ื ืืช ื’ืฉืจ ื’'ื•ืจื’ ื•ื•ืฉื™ื ื’ื˜ื•ืŸ,
02:11
which was by not a lot --
41
131260
2184
ื•ื–ื” ืœื ื”ื™ื” ื‘ื˜ื•ื•ื— ื’ื“ื•ืœ --
02:13
(Laughter)
42
133468
1575
ื—ืฉื‘ืชื™, ื•ื•ืื•,
02:15
I thought about, wow, I really feel one real regret.
43
135067
3681
ื™ืฉ ืœื™ ื‘ืืžืช ืจืง ื—ืจื˜ื” ืืžื™ืชื™ืช ืื—ืช.
02:18
I've lived a good life.
44
138772
1464
ื—ื™ื™ืชื™ ื—ื™ื™ื ื˜ื•ื‘ื™ื.
02:20
In my own humanity and mistakes,
45
140260
1976
ื‘ืื ื•ืฉื™ื•ืช ืฉืœื™ ื•ื‘ื˜ืขื•ื™ื•ืช ืฉืœื™,
02:22
I've tried to get better at everything I tried.
46
142260
2834
ื ื™ืกื™ืชื™ ืœื”ืฉืชืคืจ ื‘ื›ืœ ื“ื‘ืจ ืฉืขืฉื™ืชื™.
ืืš ื‘ืื ื•ืฉื™ื•ืช ืฉืœื™,
02:25
But in my humanity, I also allow my ego to get in.
47
145118
3118
ืื ื™ ื’ื ืžืืคืฉืจ ืœืื’ื• ืฉืœื™ ืœื”ืฉืชืœื˜ ืขืœื™.
ื•ืื ื™ ื”ืชื—ืจื˜ืชื™ ืขืœ ื”ื–ืžืŸ ืฉื‘ื–ื‘ื–ืชื™
02:29
And I regretted the time I wasted on things that did not matter
48
149302
4251
ืขืœ ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืฉืœื ื—ืฉื•ื‘ื™ื
02:33
with people that matter.
49
153577
1573
ืขื ืื ืฉื™ื ืฉื›ืŸ ื—ืฉื•ื‘ื™ื.
ื•ืื ื™ ื—ืฉื‘ืชื™ ืขืœ ื”ื™ื—ืกื™ื ืฉืœื™ ืขื ืืฉืชื™,
02:36
And I thought about my relationship with my wife,
50
156057
2379
02:38
with my friends, with people.
51
158460
1611
ืขื ื”ื—ื‘ืจื™ื ืฉืœื™, ืขื ืื ืฉื™ื.
ื•ืื—ืจ ื›ืš, ื›ืฉื—ืฉื‘ืชื™ ืขืœ ื›ืœ ื–ื”,
02:41
And after, as I reflected on that,
52
161122
1941
ื”ื—ืœื˜ืชื™ ืœืžื—ื•ืง ืื ืจื’ื™ื•ืช ืฉืœื™ืœื™ื•ืช ืžื—ื™ื™.
02:43
I decided to eliminate negative energy from my life.
53
163087
2527
02:45
It's not perfect, but it's a lot better.
54
165638
2380
ื–ื” ืœื ืžื•ืฉืœื, ืื‘ืœ ื–ื” ืฉื™ืคื•ืจ ื’ื“ื•ืœ.
ืœื ืจื‘ืชื™ ืขื ืืฉืชื™ ื›ื‘ืจ ืฉื ืชื™ื™ื.
02:48
I've not had a fight with my wife in two years.
55
168042
2740
ื–ื• ืชื—ื•ืฉื” ื ื”ื“ืจืช.
02:50
It feels great.
56
170806
1212
ืื ื™ ื›ื‘ืจ ืœื ืžื ืกื” ืœืฆืืช ืฆื•ื“ืง;
02:52
I no longer try to be right;
57
172042
2300
ืื ื™ ื‘ื•ื—ืจ ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ืžืื•ืฉืจ.
02:54
I choose to be happy.
58
174366
1417
ื”ื“ื‘ืจ ื”ืฉืœื™ืฉื™ ืฉืœืžื“ืชื™ -
02:57
The third thing I learned --
59
177314
1461
02:58
and this is as your mental clock starts going, "15, 14, 13."
60
178799
4441
ื•ื–ื”ื• ื›ืืฉืจ ื”ืฉืขื•ืŸ ื”ืžื ื˜ืœื™
ืžืชื—ื™ืœ ืœืกืคื•ืจ ืœืื—ื•ืจ, "15, 14, 13."
ืืคืฉืจ ืœืจืื•ืช ืืช ื”ืžื™ื ืžืชืงืจื‘ื™ื.
03:03
You can see the water coming.
61
183264
1436
03:04
I'm saying, "Please blow up."
62
184724
1512
ืื ื™ ืื•ืžืจ ืœืขืฆืžื™, "ื‘ื‘ืงืฉื” ืชืชืคื•ืฆืฅ."
03:06
I don't want this thing to break in 20 pieces
63
186260
2143
ืื ื™ ืœื ืจื•ืฆื” ืฉื”ื“ื‘ืจ ื”ื–ื” ื™ืชืคืจืง ืœ20 ื—ืชื™ื›ื•ืช
03:08
like you've seen in those documentaries.
64
188427
2022
ื›ืžื• ืฉืจื•ืื™ื ื‘ื“ื•ืงื•ืžื ื˜ืจื™ื.
03:11
And as we're coming down,
65
191260
2261
ื•ื‘ืขืช ื ืคื™ืœื”,
03:13
I had a sense of, wow, dying is not scary.
66
193545
4691
ื”ื™ื” ืœื™ ืชื—ื•ืฉื” ืฉืœ, ื•ื•ืื•,
ืœืžื•ืช ื–ื” ืœื ืžืคื—ื™ื“.
03:18
It's almost like we've been preparing for it our whole lives.
67
198260
2976
ื–ื” ื›ืžืขื˜ ื ื“ืžื” ืฉืื ื—ื ื• ืžืชื›ื•ื ื ื™ื ืœื–ื” ื›ืœ ื—ื™ื™ื ื•.
03:21
But it was very sad.
68
201963
1228
ืื‘ืœ ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืขืฆื•ื‘ ืžืื•ื“.
03:23
I didn't want to go; I love my life.
69
203622
1960
ืื ื™ ืœื ืจืฆื™ืชื™ ืœืžื•ืช; ืื”ื‘ืชื™ ืืช ื—ื™ื™.
03:26
And that sadness really framed in one thought,
70
206467
4225
ื•ื”ืขืฆื‘ ื”ื–ื”
ื‘ืืžืช ื”ืชื‘ื˜ื ื‘ืžื—ืฉื‘ื” ืื—ืช,
03:30
which is, I only wish for one thing.
71
210716
2520
ื•ื–ื” ืฉืื ื™ ืจืง ืจื•ืฆื” ื“ื‘ืจ ืื—ื“.
ื”ืœื•ื•ืื™ ื•ืื•ื›ืœ ืœืจืื•ืช ืืช ื”ื™ืœื“ื™ื ืฉืœื™ ื’ื“ืœื™ื.
03:34
I only wish I could see my kids grow up.
72
214072
2041
03:37
About a month later, I was at a performance by my daughter --
73
217757
3477
ืœืื—ืจ ื—ื•ื“ืฉ, ื‘ืขืจืš, ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ื‘ื”ื•ืคืขื” ืฉืœ ื”ื‘ืช ืฉืœื™ --

03:41
first-grader, not much artistic talent --
74
221258
2707
03:43
(Laughter)
75
223989
1074
... ืขื“ื™ื™ืŸ.
03:45
Yet!
76
225087
1103
(ืฆื—ื•ืง)
03:46
(Laughter)
77
226214
1854
ื•ืื ื™ ืžื™ื™ื‘ื‘, ืื ื™ ื‘ื•ื›ื”,
03:48
And I'm bawling, I'm crying, like a little kid.
78
228092
4143
ื›ืžื• ื™ืœื“ ืงื˜ืŸ.
ื•ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืœื’ืžืจื™ ื”ื’ื™ื•ื ื™.
03:53
And it made all the sense in the world to me.
79
233264
2172
03:55
I realized at that point, by connecting those two dots,
80
235844
3741
ืื ื™ ื”ื‘ื ืชื™ ื‘ืื•ืชื• ืจื’ืข,
ื›ืฉื—ื™ื‘ืจืชื™ ืืช ื”ื ืงื•ื“ื•ืช,
03:59
that the only thing that matters in my life
81
239609
2342
ืฉื”ื“ื‘ืจ ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ ืฉื—ืฉื•ื‘ ื‘ื—ื™ื™ื
04:01
is being a great dad.
82
241975
1261
ื–ื” ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ืื‘ื ื˜ื•ื‘.
ืžืขืœ ื”ื›ืœ, ื•ืžืขืœ ื”ื›ืœ,
04:04
Above all, above all,
83
244152
2707
04:06
the only goal I have in life is to be a good dad.
84
246883
2368
ื”ืžื˜ืจื” ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ื” ืฉื™ืฉ ืœื™ ื‘ื—ื™ื™ื
ื–ื” ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ืื‘ื ื˜ื•ื‘.
04:10
I was given the gift of a miracle,
85
