"How Starbucks Saved My Life" is a new book out by Michael Gates Gill. This is not an endorsement as I haven't even read the book. The point for this lead was seeing Gill interviewed Sunday, Dec. 23, 2007, and hearing his plight.
It was a good piece and brought to light what all of you know. Being fired, downsized, re-engineered, right sized etc. is devastating when it happens to you. You go through depression, wonder what you did wrong, are you human, wonder why you got an education. None of these thoughts or feelings helps at this time.....or does it?
Many of us find our way through life and the next obstacle in ways we never considered. This was portrayed by Gill's interview as he talked about being a Yale grad and his job at Starbucks showing him the way.
Sometimes your pain and suffering actually show you a new path to your next future. All this points to my credo of "Have fun, Meet people, Learn something". Time is the healer and your persistence is your momentum to your next opportunity.
