Why Wait?

Why Wait? is another book that we received from my Dad for Christmas and one I just finished a couple days ago.  It is a very short read (just 80 pages) and a true story written by a man, Rob Quillen, from Lincoln, NE and his life changing flight from Denver to Newark on September 10, 2001.  He sat next to a pilot named Jason Dahl where they talk the whole way about their lives and their dreams for the future.  The next day Jason Dahl piloted the United Airlines Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania during the 9/11 attacks.  Quillen was also a witness to seeing the towers collapse as he was in NYC for business.  It is a story about his experience with Dahl, seeing the attacks, and how he decided to carry out one of the dreams that Dahl had for his son.  The premise of the book is listening to others, getting to know them, and helping their dreams come true.  We need to go through life not only being active in making our dreams come true but the dreams of others as well.  So why wait?
