"It is a small part to play, but it the best way I know how to be of help."
Reflecting
I've been to quite a few Millennium shows at the Kennedy Center. The last one I attended was this summer when Dance Asia performed.
I've always been intimately touched by the rhythmic sounds flowing gently through the concert halls like my favorite chime of sea glass clanging softly, the perfect accompaniment to a spring or summer day with a soothing sea breeze blowing, wiping away life's worries.
Understanding
It was a long, productive day of studying, trying to wrap my arms around Entrepreneurship, my mind twisted into various shapes, morphed and textured like a jagged moon terrain.
Entrepreneurship is just not about having a great technological idea. In fact, Entrepreneurship is about creating a business model that solves a critical problem.
Negotiating
Now that it has been over a week since the strongest earthquake in over 200 years struck Haiti, many are wondering why so massive and the death toll so extensive.
When responding to criticism why relief is taking so long to get to the people in need, the simple answer is because before the earthquake, Haiti was already a fragile state.
There are so many limitations to how many planes the airport can handle, the damage to the seaport, the conditions of the roads, the state of the telecommunications system, currently in shambles, etc.
Rest assured the US government and our military as well as many of those from other countries are responding proactively, comprehensively and compassionately.
Inspiring
The Haitian people are full of spirit and the their music is full of inspiration. Today, my friend Michelle and I were inspired by an evening of song, music and tribute to many of our loved ones who are suffering and who need our support.
Navigating
All proceeds from the Kennedy Concert went to the Haiti Relief fund as well as ticket proceeds from the National Symphony Orchestra.
I am determined to do my part for the Haiti Relief. This weekend, I will be running the Miami Marathon for Operation Hope for Haiti
