Did you know that words of wisdom, thought provoking statements or things that make you go Hmmmmm, do not always arrive with a lightning strike or are carved in stone on a mountain top? Sometimes they come on the side of a cup of coffee.

A $4.19 venti vanilla latte, to be precise.

Starbucks has had the The Way I See It campaign on the side of their cup for as long as I can remember. You may not have even noticed it. Next time, take a look. I’m not saying it will change your life, but it may give you food for thought.

The Way I see It #273

All children need a laptop. Not a computer, but a human laptop. Moms, Dads, Grannies and Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles – someone to hold them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next generation their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams.

– General Colin L. Powell
Founder, America’s Promise – the Alliance for Youth.
