When Life Hands You a Near-Death Experience, Build Something That Matters

00:00

What if you woke up late for work and that oversleeping saved your life? Miki Agrawal missed her usual morning routine on September 11, 2001-she should have been having breakfast with her friend Laura in the World Trade Center courtyard at 8:30 AM. Instead, she watched the towers collapse on television. Later, wearing a moon suit and gas mask, she retrieved documents from her destroyed Deutsche Bank office. Among the ruins, she found a letter from her mother congratulating her on the banking job. The realization hit hard: so many people had lost their lives without fulfilling their dreams. Was she going to do the same? That moment became her turning point. She sold a bicycle recovered from the ruins, bought a laptop, and began writing her first screenplay. The lesson wasn't subtle-life is precious and unpredictable, and waiting for "someday" is a luxury none of us can afford.
