In a rare display of self-discipline, I did absolutely nothing this 4th of July weekend. I planted myself in front of the TV and proceeded down a road that included Sarah Palin’s resignation, Roger Federer’s record 15th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon and Tiger Wood’s 68th PGA Tour victory at the AT&T Congressional. But the best was saved for last.
On Sunday evening, 60 Minutes aired a segment with Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger discussing the final moments before U.S. Airways Flight 1549 made its dramatic landing in New York’s Hudson River. What struck me about the interview was Sullenberger’s humility, his quiet confidence and the reflective introspection he showed throughout the interview. In his own words Captain Sully was just “doing his job”.
