the wall street cinderella story i would say

hello people how's the holidays again
i'd just finished reading a book and i cant wait to share with you guys
okay keep it short and sweet
this is it

and the cover of book is actually stated that it is extremely hawt

i was always wondering the power of starbucks
I went for a movie "The Proposal" last 2 days and the first scene where Andrew started his day was actually taken in starbucks as well !
so you could see how starbucks coffee completed a person's morning :)

perhaps for some ppl, the morning was not complete without a visit to the convenience store
where they poured their own black, murky brew into a white foam cup
To kill the taste, they doused the mixture with gobs of powdered cream and sugar
and stirred it with a thin white plastic stick
and they would hand their change to an apathetic cashier who performed the job
just well enough to earn the minimum wage

it was just an unvarying and uninspired customer ritual and transaction :(

so if you wanna know how starbucks actually inspire the coffee drinker
to give up their regular routine while also getting them to pay six or eight times
for rich, exotic coffee blends when "ordinary" was all ppl'd ever known
get this book from the bookstore :)

it was indeed worth for me spending 3 nights to finish up the book
because in contrast to McD, another great American success story
Starbucks was not a franchise business

and this is the one i found in my brother's cupboard
but i dont plan to read it
because i still have to catch up with my lecture notes as well :(

Howard Schultz..a name you must rmb
how he let empowerment, entrepreneurship, quality and service define the values of starbucks

feel shy to say that i'd actually not having any starbucks experience
but i was just way too curious about it
and i asked a friend who was a regular starbucks visitor
and the reason to keep him willing to pay more for a latte was
" nobody tells you to leave or gives you a dirty look if you've been there over a half hour
unlike a certain donut haven "

and the brother said
" its a great place to go to talk with that special someone, catch up with an old friend
or escape after a stressful day
becasue you cant go to Disney World everday,unfortunately
so starbucks is my affordable luxury"

so hey ya kia go starbucks :)



so in my opinion after reading this book
i think leadership which focused on creating a culture in which employees can soar
or more precisely letting the employees become part of shareholders
offered a refreshing philosophy
cos you know lar at time many CEO's pocket millions
but leaved their employee's pension funds insolvent
