Your Starbucks Cup Quote of the Day

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things

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."

-Mark Twain

No, I didn't see this on a Starbucks cup, but it should be! Came across it in a book I've been buried in the last few days.

Love the quote, saw this one today too, thought it might something to ponder. Cheers, from Chuck in Nashville....
"Heaven is totally overrated."
I sat down by Howard at our staff meeting this morning. Howard was drinking a cup of Starbucks coffee imported from Greenville, SC. Howard may go to the hot place for bringing his Starbucks coffee into the land of Starbucksless Coffeedom. Howard works for me...but not for long if he continues sauntering through the office while brandishing his imported coffee.

That aside, the quote on Howard's coffee cup caught my attention this morning. You may have already read about it. It looks like I may be about a month late to the party on this one. Here it is, though. "The Way I See It." #230.

"Heaven is totally overrated. It seems boring. Clouds, listening to people play the harp. It should be somewhere you can't wait to go, like a luxury hotel. Maybe blue skies and soft music were enough to keep people in line in the 17th century, but Heaven has to step it up a bit. They're basically getting by because they only have to be better than Hell." --Joel Stein, columnist for the Los Angeles Times
