Week of 1/19

In honor of this Martin Luther King, Jr. day/week, I want to give you a quote that is a perfect fit for you at this point in your lives. It's not actually my favorite of his (although I love it), not even necessarily in my top three, but it is very appropriate for you at this upcoming critical juncture.

"Whatever career you may choose for yourself-- doctor, lawyer, teacher-- let me propose an avocation to be pursued along with it. Become a dedicated fighter for civil rights. Make it a central part of your life. It will make you a better doctor, a better lawyer, a better teacher. It will enrich your spirit as nothing else possibly can. It will give you that rare sense of nobility that can only spring form love and selflessly helping your fellow man. Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for human rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in."
~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Make a career of humanity. I love that so much.
