When I bought a cup at the airport coffee shop, I expected warm caffeine. What I got was a list of life tips written on the cup. It made me smile, and thought I’d share:
- Thank a Teacher.
- Listen 1st, talk 2nd
- Learn to dance a jig
- Start right now
- Continue a conversation OFFline
- Take all your vacation days
- Dance to your own rhythm
- Be a HERO (minus the dorky cape)
- Become a bee keeper
- Smile first, ask questions later
- Follow your heart
- Laugh so hard you cry
- Eat when you are hungry and Nap when you are tired
- Make time for silly
- Love what you brew, brew what you love (Jim’s note – this is more than about coffee — think about it)
- Enter a pie eating contest
- Do it for love, not profit
- Grow older without ever growing up
- Adopt an animal
And it didn’t stop with the cup. Even the napkin carries some life wisdom:
Stay awake for:
…maxing out your passport
…ghost stories around the campfire
…playing an instrument
…break dancing
…Luscious, oh-so-delicious chocolate
And finally, a reminder that:
Life’s too short for:
…grudges
…Fake anything
…putting profits before people
…over-roasted coffee
…crabby people
…WiFi you have to pay for (I was typing this on an airport wifi signal I had to pay for, grrrr)
…waiting for change to happen
All this life wisdom for just $1.19. And they even threw in some hot coffee!
Enjoy your day. I will.
