my starbucks cup once said
you know how there's always some form of writing on your starbucks cup? most of the time i don't ready it because just saids "beware, the contents of this cup is extremely hot"
anyways, here's what my starbucks cup once said:
"The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out, pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say "no" - they may not be smart enough to say "yes""
i like that. strange how sometimes you talk to people and the most fitting advise you can give them, you once got off of a starbucks cup.
gaining perspective
as the holiday season rolls around and we're busy shopping it's nice to take a moment and gain a bit of perspective - i stumbled on this from Tara's blog
http://www.globalrichlist.com/index.php i found out that i was amongst the top 3% of the richest people in world...
$8 could buy you 15 organic apples OR 25 fruit trees for farmers in Honduras to grow and sell fruit at their local market.
$30 could buy you an ER DVD Boxset OR a First Aid kit for a village in Haiti.
$73 could buy you a new mobile phone OR a new mobile health clinic to care for AIDS orphans in Uganda.
$2400 could buy you a second generation High Definition TV OR schooling for an entire generation of school children in an Angolan village.
A bit of perspective
