This post is to explain the title of my blog, as well as introduce a segment that will reoccur from time to time in my posts. I am a shift supervisor at Starbucks, and have been working there for over three and a half years now. Every time I hand a customer a hot beverage, I am also handing them a perspective. Each cup is printed with a section titled, "The Way I See It," where customers write in and offer words of wisdom based off of their own experiences. Many people grab their drinks and rush off to work, school, or to pick up their kids. They hastily consume their caffeine and discard their empty cups in the trash somewhere without giving it a second thought. Next time you order a drink from Starbucks, I implore you to take a minute to stop and read what your cup says. You may not always agree with it, or even understand where it is coming from, but it offers you a unique perspective on the world that you would otherwise not see. This blog is my opportunity to share with you the world as I see it, but I encourage you to leave comments so that I may also see the world the way you see it.
The first entry is my favorite quote from a Starbucks cup. The following entries, starting with #1 will be my own thoughts.
The Way I see it #61
Imagine we are all the same. Imagine we all agree about politics, religion and morality. Imagine we like the same types of music, food and coffee. Sound boring? Differences need not divide us. Embrace diversity. Dignity is everyone's human right. ~Bill Brummel
The Way I See it #1
True Leadership is not telling others what to do, but setting your pride aside and having the courage to listen. It is not looking inward, but taking every opportunity you have to inspire and cultivate others. Leadership is a subtle, humble quality that has the capability to change the world. ~Kirby Thomas
