Life imitate coffee makers…

They say that the economics nowadays is longer satisfy with the idea of having discount, people like to have free things, so how does one make money? But, prior to that, are the free things really free?

Recently, my daughter was sick, one of the suspect are some free coffee mugs which she is playing. So, the coffee mugs are free but because of quality issue it leads to mu daughter falling sick and we having to come out with medical bills.

So, in reality, if I do not get the free coffee mugs, I might not have incur this additional cost. Moreover, there is always something that you need to do to get the free things.

Things that might not have value to us, but great value to the people wanting it. To get us to be loyal to certain brand of toothpaste, they always give out give mugs and stuff.

Think about it, would you really need so many coffee mugs? And what has coffee mugs got to do with toothpaste?

They wanted loyalty to their brand, we wanted free stuff. At most, you would see this as a form of trading, but you cannnot see this a free thing.

Is been a while since I last post anything on this blog, isn’t it? The truth is, it is pretty tiring trying to think of life’s lesson and link it to a coffee maker. This post, I would be using keurig coffee maker.

What can we learn from this seemingly simple looking coffee maker? They make it in such a way that it is not the machine that matters but the coffee pods or what is known as the k-cups.

Similarly, if you use it on person, if you want good things to come out of the person life, it is the in take of his experience, his education and many other in put that determine his story.

Take for example, a person that has a rags to riches story, he is more resilence and has things that a person growing up in a rich family would not have.

Now, if you want good coffee, coffee maker is just a very small fraction of the whole equation, you still need to consider things like water quality, temperature, quantity and freshness of coffee grounds.

That is also true about how a person is like. How he talks and how successful he is depends on what is background is, and how he is schooled…
