At this instant, I am writing this article as I am sitting at Chicago O’Hare airport waiting for my connecting flight, which has been delayed for 4 hours. Was it my plan to remain at the airport for 4 hours? Probably not; it wasn’t in my thought that this would happen.

Even though, I had planned for this trip weeks ago and had booked the early flight to make it to my destination early; things didn’t go that way. I even had prepared for afternoon meetings. Now, I am sitting here waiting for 4 hours while others are waiting for me in the meeting room.
