I'm having a bit of a self-reflective day today. I came into work much as I always do, drinking something from Starbucks. Then I found out about the train bombing in India, and went into my morning status meeting to find out that the father of one of my coworkers not only lives in Mumbai, but barely missed one of the trains that blew up. His reason? He stayed a few minutes after work to finish up some paperwork.
Think about that for a minute.
Had he left work on time to catch his train home, he might very well be dead right now.
Remember that next time you think you're completely in control of your life.
