The Way I See It #285
Let’s do a better job of exposing the children to our rich musical history, so they know more than hip-hop samples of artists like Curtis Mayfield, Jackie Wilson and Billy Preston. Help them appreciate Duke Ellington and his peers, like Count Basie, for being more than lyrics in a “back in the day” Stevie Wonder song.
–Sam Moore
Recording artist. His songs can be heard on Starbucks XM Cafe Channel 45.
Today’s order: grande red eye (which was actually a black eye b/c the barista gave me both shots - thank you!)

“My cousin in Tibet is an illiterate subsistence farmer. By accident of birth, I was raised in the West and have a Ph.D. The task of our generation is to cut through the illusion that we inhabit separate worlds. Only then will we find the heart to rise to the daunting but urgent challenges of global disparity.”
– Losang Rabgey, Ph.D.
National Geographic Emerging Explorer and co-founder of Machik, a nonprofit helping communities on the Tibetan plateau.

“I have spent a lot of time living where two bioregions intersect. There’s often amazing diversity in these zones, as species native to one region seem to thrive in the presence of those from another. So it is with businesses and the environment. For companies that seek it, there’s a renewable spring of ideas and innocations where the two fields mix.”
– Terry Kellogg
Executive director of 1% for the Planet, a network of companies that donates a portion of sales to environmental causes.

“Every 20 minutes — less time than it will take you to drink your coffee — another child is diagnosed with autism. It’s much more common than people think, with one out of every 150 children diagnosed. Learn the early warning signs of autism, and if you’re concerned about your child’s development, talk to your doctor. Early intervention could make a big difference in your child’s future.”
– Bob Wright
Former chariman and CEO of NBC/Universal, co-founder of Autism Speaks.

Starbucks, The Way I See It.
As time will illustrate, I have a serious addiction to Starbucks coffee. Every day I get a new cup I’m going to post “The Way I See It” comment that is printed on the cup. Why do this? I don’t know. I really like some of the comments and hope that it’s okay to share.
