I remember telling myself that the world will never be the same though.

I too had a board meeting that day that was first cancelled because the biggest buildings in Montreal were evacuated just in case. We decided to hold the meeting in the evening instead. The company was a startup in software solutions for the travel industry. Since there were not many resources invested yet, I proposed to wait and put all projects aside because the travel market might fall for a few months. They did not believe me, said I was too quick. I stepped down. I am sorry to report I was right. I hate being right in those cases.

But all that being said, I remember vividly where I was and how I felt on that day.

I was in college. I remember my roommate waking me, “Get up. You have to see this.”
