I'd like to meet:

..Born and raised in the Dominican Republic. Visualito resides in New York for the past 14 years. He began his advertising career at APEC. He received a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Lehman College. During his studies he specialized in visual communications and achieved and excellent body of work that landed him a career in graphic arts and photography. Before graduating Visualito was hired by Sensenet, an interactive agency specialized in developing intranet and e-commerce sites for such clients like dkny and banana_republic. He acted as the head of the design and interactive team. With and urgency of giving back to the community, Visualito has dedicated 5 years teaching graphic design, photography, marketing and advertising for inner city students. Simultaneously he had overtaken product design and advertising projects in urban NY for several companies and clients.Here is something he came across and would like to share it with you (something desired as essential) Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle to yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars and you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. Max Ehrmann, 1927
