Starbucks

Starbucks is a really nice place :) atleast the one right next to my house is. they have nice music inside, and awesome sofas where u can sit and look at the hudson and the ferries on it go by... it's as if the whole world is calm and peaceful... beautiful sight.

and then there are the coffee cups which have nice quotes on them :) here's one of them which really struck a chord:

"The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating -- in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life." -- Anne Morriss, Starbucks customer from NYC who describes herself as "an organization builder, restless American citizen, optimist."

so true... when u take a decision and decide to go ahead with it, u lose all fear of failure... when u decide "This is what i'm going to do with my life", it ceases to matter what ppl think abt it, coz their views dnt fuel any scepticism you have within you... in fact, ONLY when u commit can u be successful! everything else is a play of dice. will help me later on i'm sure (tough decisions coming up in less than an year's time).

oh, by the way, the coffee is decent too!
