One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can 　31　 　something valuable out of it. The thing I wasn’t 　32　 　of its value was the terrorist attack on September 11.

　　　 I hear older people 　33　 　about the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Kennedy’s being murdered and how greatly those events 　34　 　them in their lives. For my 　35 　, the tragedy of September 11 can be 　36　 　with that of Pearl Harbor. We will be talking about the terrible effect 　37　 　our country, and our lives as the single human being, for years to come.

　　　 It wasn’t until a few weeks 　38　 　September 11 that I began to see that perhaps something good did come from this tragedy. People seem 　39　 　now, more understanding, more friendly. Little things that seemed to be such a bother before are no longer a 　40　 　deal. Personally, I am more patient than I was. I realize life is too short and 　41　 , to let myself get upset over unimportant things. Life is also too short to carry complaints and 　42　 　I’ve become more forgiving and understanding. I’ve also learned that you can’t take things for granted. You know how we always say “　 43　 　you later”. One thing I’ve realized from September 11 is that you can’t ever say that for sure. 　44　 change in the blink (眨眼) of an eye. People go to 　45　 　and don’t come back. One minute they are living and the 　46　 　minute they are not. And, it doesn’t 　47　 　who you are because there is nothing you can do about it. We 　48　 　know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make 　49　 　of every minute we have.

　　　 You try to learn from what happened. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just 　50　 　.
