2 Books: 3 Cups of Tea and How Starbucks Saved my Life
I got these books from the library and started to read 3 Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin first, a very intriguing book and yet I also started reading How Starbucks Saved my Life. Michael gates Gill has written from the heart. An honestly written book about the mistakes he made in his life and then some. He acknowledges his intolerance and prejudice about people of different color, gender and basically people who are different. I have always felt sorry for people who think they are superior to some, to me that is a sign of inconfidence and illiteracy.
I specially liked the quote by Bill Brumell (a documentary filmmaker) published on the side of a cup of Starbucks Decaf Grande Cappuccino, in Chapter 2, “Imagine we are all the same. Imagine we agree about politics, religion and morality. Imagine we like the same types of music, art, food and coffee. Imagine we all look alike. Sound boring? Differences need not divide us. Embrace diversity. Dignity is everyone’s human right”
