200 9年一月,當機號1549 飛機迫降紐約哈德遜河,Ric Elias 正坐在第一排。在墜機的當下,他的心中在想什么? 在 TED,他第一次在公開場合說出他的故事。
The third thing I learned -- and this is as your mental clock starts going, "15, 14, 13." You can see the 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 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 . 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 dots, 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. 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 negative energy in them? And more than anything, are you being the best parent you can? Thank you.
我所學到的第三件事 當你腦中的時鐘開始倒數(shù) “15,14,13” 看到旁邊的水位開始上升 心想“拜托爆炸吧” 我不想這個東西碎成20片 像紀錄片里那樣 當我們逐漸下沉 我突然感覺到,哇 死并不可怕 就像是我們一直在為此做準備 但很令人悲傷 我不想就這樣離開,我熱愛我的生命 這個悲傷 的主要來源是 我只期待一件事 我希望我能夠看我的孩子長大 一個月以后,我參加女兒的表演 - 她一年級,沒什么藝術天份?? ??就算如此 (笑聲) 我淚流滿面 像個孩子 讓我的世界重新有了意義 當時我意識到 把這兩個事件連上 其實我生命中唯一重要的事 就是成為一個好父親 比任何事情都重要 我人生中唯一的目標 就是做個好父親 那天我經(jīng)歷了一個神跡 我活下來了 同時我得到另一個啟示 像是看見自己的未來 再回來 改變自己的人生 我鼓勵今天要坐飛機的各位 想像若是一樣的事發(fā)生在你身上 - 最好不要 - 但想像,你會如何改變? 有什么是你想做卻沒做的 因為你覺得你會有其它機會做它? 你會如何??改變你的人際關系 不再如此負面? 最重要的是,你是否盡力成為一個好的父母? 謝謝各位。
