I was at a Seminar on Accepting Change in the Business world. When we took a group break from the seminar we all went out in the hallway to find several hotel guests and employees glued to a TV set watching the first plane go into the tower. Everyone was shocked and continues to watch TV with people passing by asking what everyone was watching. The tradgedy continued to unfold as we all started watching and mourning in the shock. We went back to class the rest of the day was very different. The speakers had to continue on but using the event as accepting change and going on. It was difficult to focus and once the day ended we all went home to our families.
