Serendipitous Latte

The actual cup
This evening, after dinner, I went for a latte at Starbucks. I was enjoying the beverage listening to the standard coffee house music. Tracy Chapman if I remember although my odds are pretty good with that guess considering the location.
Then I did something I rarely do. I read the little thought on the cup.
Failure's hard, but success is far more dangerous. If you're successful at the wrong thing, the mix of praise and money and opportunity can lock you in forever.I kept the cup. Even took a picture to remember.-Po Bronson, Author
And then I started to ask myself if I was successful at the wrong thing?

Wow, that's surprisingly deep for a coffee cup. Great quote!
You got to give it to Po Bronson, he used to write some pretty good books! The First 20millions is the hardest, and Bombardiers are great novels - give them a shot if you haven't read them already!
I’m always amused by people who complain about being completely bagged and useless because they didn’t sleep well the night before. Only those who suffer from chronic insomnia get how extreme sleep deprivation messes with your mind and touches every corner of your life.
