Starbucks

I'm not a coffee lover, but I certainly visited this shop for a number of times.

There is a shocking news recently about Starbucks. They have decided to close down 600 over branches due to economic down turn in US. Imagine a branch have 10 workers, then approximately 6,000 workers have became unemployed. :(

There are tones of people out there complaining that they need to work in order to earn a living...that's includes me. (honestly) I think with this news, we should start to appreciate what we have. Although working life is not enjoyable, but most importantly we are EMPLOYED. Even though we didn't make any big contribution to the society, but we are still contributing....and we will definitely get recognised. With this, we know the existence of ourselves and feel good.

Few months back, my manager told us that she was thinking to get the franchise from Starbucks last time...the time before Starbucks have its first shop in Malaysia. But at that time, people tease her that there is no one in this world that going to consume a cup of coffee at this price which is more than RM 10. With limited capital, she didn't proceed with the franchise.

Now, today, with lots of Starbucks in Malaysia, I think those people who ever think of franchise and didn't do that will be very regret. The moral of this story is that we need to grab the opportunity at the right time. When there is no opportunity for you, you will need to think of creating one if there is any chances. When there is any opportunity for you, please do not let go. There is no way for you to go back to the past...as past is past. Remember: Yesterday was a history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift.

Also, do not spend your time on regret.
