A Time for Everything.

I would like to recognize all those who believed and stood up for principles and ethics for the benefit of the people of St. Maarten in general and the young professionals in particular. Yet our actions should not deviate from these beliefs and morals for we all know consistency brings change. Yes, courage and perseverance is what it takes to smooth the way for those to come to obtain and play their part in St. Maarten.
Those values are virtues to protect and vectors to strive towards perfection as young professionals of the soil. Decisions might be taken that are beyond our control, that are a mere political and perhaps even personal choice than anything else. The decision made on the position of general secretary of Parliament was abundantly clear to those who have seen or heard the Parliament meeting of April 21, 2011.
Despite the outcome, we should continue to take a stance in what we believe in and to stand up for our principles. What I have seen displayed should give us hope, because one day our conscience will overrule and our actions will be in one accord for what is right, fair and just. Opportunities are a scare commodity. When our own will be first? When will we stop finding excuses that sometimes don't even exist to second-class the local? What do we gain from this generational method? Let us remember it is always too soon to quit. Let we look for the words of Ecclesiastes 3: 1-17. Give thanks.
