Watch and learn

This year’s People to Watch represent the best Baton Rouge has to offer and provide real hope for a better future. We should all learn from and take a cue from these difference-makers.

They are an amazing cross-section of our community: black and white, young and old, male and female, novice entrepreneurs and veteran public servants.

Some possess amazing skills and have honed them to near-perfection through relentless practice and training. Some are leaders whose inspiration, organization and vision have brought change to organizations and communities. Still others are creative spirits whose original works inspire, dazzle and entertain.

These folks are doing their thing and contributing to our community.

So, how will you make your mark in 2012? Now is the time to decide if you really want Baton Rouge to change.

Go for it!

Perhaps Mark Twain said it best:

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
