Sometimes The Difference Between Winning And Losing

What I Would Say To Young Entrepreneurs Is There's So Many Moments In Your Life Where You Have These Dreams, And People Are Trying To Protect You, And They Say, Perhaps, Friends, Family, Parents Sometimes, They Don't Agree With It, They Think, 'this Is Just Too High Of A Hurdle.' And I Don't Agree With That.

My Son Is Trying To Be A Sports Writer, And My Daughter Is A College Student. She Wants To Be A Comedy Writer, And She's At Film School. I Discouraged Both Of Them Early On From Getting Involved In Starbucks. I Didn't Think It Would Be Fair; Plus, They Didn't Have Any Interest Anyway.

There Are Moments In Our Lives When We Summon The Courage To Make Choices That Go Against Reason, Against Common Sense And The Wise Counsel Of People We Trust. But We Lean Forward Nonetheless Because, Despite All Risks And Rational Argument, We Believe That The Path We Are Choosing Is Right And Best Thing To Do. We Refuse To Be Bystanders, Even If We Do Not Know Exactly Where Our Actions Will Lead.

There's This Myth That Has Been Exacerbated By Others That Starbucks Means A $4 Cup Of Coffee, Which Is Not True.
