Learning to learn is a cornerstone of personal growth and success, especially when navigating logical realms of knowledge. By mastering the art of logical thinking, you empower yourself to conquer any subject or skill you set your mind to. It's akin to piloting your life with a flexible yet structured routine, allowing you to navigate unexpected challenges with grace and precision.
Moreover, unexpected journeys in life serve as fertile ground for spiritual growth. Each twist and turn presents an opportunity to delve deeper into oneself, ultimately leading to a higher level of self-awareness and spiritual enlightenment. Just as a seed needs adversity to grow into a mighty tree, so too do our unexpected journeys serve as catalysts for greatness within our spiritual selves.
In the words of Sun Tzu, "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." This quote encapsulates the essence of leadership, emphasizing the importance of strategic thinking and diplomacy in achieving one's goals. Similarly, true leadership lies in the ability to navigate life's challenges with wisdom and foresight, ultimately guiding oneself and others to success. ( )
This is the biography of an unremarkable, remarkable man. Sully was an Air Force fighter pilot flying F-4D Phantoms…that’s kind of remarkable. He holds an Airline Transportation Pilot Certificate…that’s like being one person 1 in 2000. He piloted U.S. Airways airliners for 30 years. He’s been married to Lorrie for 34 years. And Sully landed his Airbus 320 in the Hudson River six minutes after take-off from LaGuardia Airport when both engines were disabled by a flock of geese…and not one person died. He comes across as remarkably normal, but don’t believe it. ( )
After seeing the movie, I expected the book to have much more about the flight and the subsequent investigations. In truth, there's much more about Sullenberger's life prior to the flight in the book. Which is naturally what you'd expect in a book such as this, but not really what I wanted to read about. The movie makes it sound like there was quite a bit of controversy about his actions in the subsequent investigations. In truth, Sullenberger mentions an NTSB investigation once in the whole book. I have no complaints with the parts of the book that describe the flight itself - they are very well done with lots of details. I'm really not interested in reading about how his daughters grades dropped after he became public figure, or that his wife thinks she should lose some weight. ( )
Thanks to meticulous attention to white-knuckle detail by Sully, writing with Jeffrey Zaslow, "Highest Duty" doesn't lose thrust just because we already know its outcome (even if the writing style can be as methodical as one of Sully's checklists).

Highest Duty is dedicated to my wife Lorrie, and my daughters Kate and Kellie. You are the three most important people in my life, and I love you more than I can express in words.
This book is also dedicated to the passengers and crew of Flight 1549 and their families. We will be joined forever because of the events of January 15, 2009, in our hearts and in our minds.

The flight lasted just a few minutes, but the details are rich and vivid to me.
