Another good quote, from a beer bottle in the Dominican Republic

A photo of some kids in the Dominican Republic

I spent five weeks in the Dominican Republic (DR) summer of '08. I found this great quote in a most unlikely place, on the label of my beer bottle. There is one major beer producer in the DR, Cerveceria Nacional, and they produce just a few beers, with Presidente being the most popular. (Sort of the Budweiser of the DR)

A few years ago they decided to produce a boutique beer. Boutique beer requires a trendy name and label, and in the DR, Trendy=English. So the beer is called "Cerveza One" and nobody really knows how to pronounce it. The label has a quote in English on it as well, which is ironic for a boutique beer produced by the national brewery in the DR.

That was a long explanation for a short quote, but here it is, directly from the "Cerveza One" beer bottle from the Dominican Republic:

"Life is no more than a series of consequences that could be shifted by the action of one individual that could inspire many to unite over one common goal. That individual could be you."
