The most important thing I've ever done occurred on October 8, 1990．I began the day playing tennis with an old friend I hadn't seen for a while．Between points we talked about what had been happening in each other's lives．He and his wife had just had a baby boy, who was keeping them up at night．

　　While we were playing, a car came screaming up the road toward the courts．It was my friend's father, who shouted to my friend that his baby had stopped breathing and was being rushed to the hospital．In a flash my friend was in the car and gone, disappearing in a cloud of dust．

　　For a moment I just stood there, paralyzed （呆若木鸡）．Then I tried to figure out what I should do．Follow my friend to the hospital? There was nothing I could accomplish there, I convinced myself．My friend's son was in the care of doctors and nursed, and nothing I could do or say would affect the outcome．Be there for moral support? Well, maybe．But my friend and his wife both had large families, and I knew they'd be surrounded by relatives who would provide more than enough comfort and support, whatever happened．All I could do at the hospital, I decided, was get in the way．Also, I had planned a full day with my family, who were waiting for me to get home．So I decided to head back to my house and check in with my friend later, As I started my car, I realized that my friend had left his truck and keys at the courts, I now faced another problem．I couldn't leave the keys in the truck．So I decided to go to the hospital
