The starbucks book

I have been reading this book since i came back from Hongkong. Wanted to read more about this man called Howard Schultz. Find out why my prof, Prof Tan always like to use him as an example.
I have only read half of his book and realized that in ac tual fact, he is a very simple person. Or rather, he is a ordinary person who dares to dream very big. And i like him for one very special reason. I guess i admire his determination to the extent that he will fight till the end for whatever he believes.

I especially like one part of the book where one of his friend asks him. "Howard, do you think you will still have this drive in you if you wasn't born in such cruel environment?"
I guess a person has to break free from his "Comfort" Area in order to get his own success. Maybe i feel that i have been too slack liao.

Another quote i like to end with will be from Martin Luther King, Jr

• The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
  

Even though his phase has been heard so many times, i suddenly feel its significance only NOW!
