What lessons can we draw from Capt Sullenburger's heroics? Remember he was the pilot who calmly steered the plane to land on Hudson River with little or no engine power after the engines were damaged by a big flock of big birds. He saved more than 150 lives including his.
In critical moments of our lives, we need to remain calm and stay focus on getting the job done.
Are training, practice and experience the key ingredients to that incident? Is it coincidental that the plane has such a pilot with all the necessary characteristics at that moment?
To the 150 plus people on board, they must be glad that he was at the cockpit.
Luckily he was not one of those people who is victim of many cost-minimising exercises in Corporate America where the older people, deemed more expensive, are being replaced by the cheaper younger pilots.
My concluding remark - Whether you are a young or more "matured" person, we must all strive to possess those characteristics. Let's all view each other as being useful one way or another.
