Dominicans can teach Americans about smiling in face of adversity | www.azstarnet.com ®

I’m back at one of my favorite places. This country that together with Haiti makes up the island of Hispaniola is one of the poorest in the world, but one of the richest in beauty and hospitality. It’s the pristine beaches, the spectacular landscapes and the lively music, but mostly it’s the people.

Dominicans smile, dance and sing in the midst of adversity — and believe me, they have their fill of adverse moments. If it’s not a natural disaster, it’s a political scandal, an energy crisis or an increase in the cost of food supplies, not to mention the high cost of gasoline. So you have to wonder why it is that in such a poor country people are getting by with a positive attitude, and in our country, which is one of the richest in the world, we are constantly complaining.”*
