Life Lessons from a Coffee Cup

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.
