King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies

King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

Do Your Work in the C.A.F.E.

"THERE is little difference in people. But that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative."

- W.C. Stone

If you think your life is hell and your work is a never-ending torture,

your attitude will make it even more so.
You either look at a glass of water as half-full or half-empty.
If it is half-full, you focus on what there is and enjoy it;
if half-empty, you notice only what is not there and suffer over it.

Try adopting the Cafe attitude -- Creative, Adaptive, Flexible and Easy-going.

The next time your life and work turn hard on you,

just imagine that you are sipping your favourite coffee in a nice Cafe.
With your new Cafe attitude, you will transform the way you see your life and work.
For instance, you will relish work, not for the money it pays, but the satisfaction and pride it brings.
My personal motto is: "Do what I love and love what I do."

Reflect on this for a while, and you will realise this truth:

It is not our work but our attitudes that will make us feel that way.

Inventor Thomas Edison once said: "I never did a day's work in my life, it was all fun."

With Cafe, your life and work can be fun.
