In light of the earthquake yesterday in Haiti, I dedicate this post to all of those with friends, family and loved ones on the island. Instead of a motivational quote it seems more befitting to share a poem that has gotten me through rough times. Again, I send my thoughts and prayers to all of you.
When you're up against a trouble,
Meet it squarely, face to face;
Lift your chin and set your shoulders,
Plant your feet and take a brace.
When it's vain to try to dodge it,
Do the best that you can do;
You may fail, but you may conquer,
See it through!
Black may be the clouds about you
And your future may seem grim,
But don't let your nerve desert you;
Keep yourself in fighting trim.
If the worst is bound to happen,
Spite of all that you can do,
Running from it will not save you,
See it through!
Even hope may seem but futile,
When with troubles you're beset,
But remember you are facing
Just what other men have met.
You may fail, but fall still fighting;
Don't give up, what've you do;
Eyes front, head high to the finish.
See it through!

Tragic situations remind us of what is really important. I encourage all of you to remain conscious of not only what is going on in America, but to become more aware of the situations people face around the world. A Young Professional is not only one who seeks success in his/her career but a YP is also one who is concerned about the well being of others. Again, I ask that every set of eyes reading this will take a moment to hope for the best in Haiti as the death toll rises along with the number of missing people. I encourage all of you to SEE IT THROUGH! Trouble does not last always and neither does pain. On this hump day, be inspired to see it through.
A moment of silence for those who have lost their lives in this immense disastrous and devastating event.
