Can life really be like automatic coffee makers?

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Do you know what is the one best thing about automatic coffee makers? Of course, other than being automatic, it is the ability to be programmable.

This meant that if you do the right settings, the coffee maker can be set to brew you a great cup of coffee just in time before you rush off to work. Now, that is a coffee machine.

We love our lives to be automated. How you wish your work can be automated by some program or softwares. Or, that your household chores can be done by a push of a button.

SOme of us, not all of us, also wished that you have some automatic program to spend time with family so that you can concentrate more on work.

If you are wishing for such a program -review your life! This is dangerous. Family and love ones are one of the most basic reason why you should live for, and if you think otherwise, it would not be long before you lose the purpose in living….

Consumer reports coffee makers is in, mirrors life

Monday, July 20th, 2009

A name is more precious than gold, that is so true with consumer reports coffee makers is in and also for life.

Coffee makers companies would try ways and means to get into these consumer reports, and if they are featured there, it meant good sales. However, more and more companies are paying to be inside these consumer reports.

If these reports are paid, it is still unbiased and can it still be trusted? Wouldn’t it be just like those advertisement? It would be what I called tainted.

The consumer repors coffee makers because of trying to make more money, actually ruined itself. The fact is, if it remains neutral but only accept sponsorship where appropriate, it might even be better.

A person life is similar to that. Imagine you started with nothing, build a reputation or business, then you wanted a short cut, a way to earn faster money and more cash, you did something that is not so right.

It would first start with something that is not so right, then something wrong, then finally something totally illegal.

Thus, stick to what is right, ethical and be driven by your passion and it is unlikely that you cannnot make a living out of it…

While I compare coffee makers, I decided to get some quick handmade gifts

Monday, July 13th, 2009

There I was yesterday musing about how one compare coffee makers can be like life in genereal, then a second later, I myself is trying to compare coffee makers and to get a good gift.

The truth is there are many resources to assist us in doing that, if you click the link above, it would bring you to a site that list easy to follow 4 steps in comparing and hopefully finding the coffee brewers you like.

But, even then, I consider it a hassle, for one, I still need to go and buy it. Then as I was surfing, I chanced upon the idea of doing some quick handmade gifts.

No need to pay money and it would show loads of sincerity. Isn’t that what most girls are looking for? In fact, even guys would not mind these handmade present right?

Check out the link to learn a tip or two, but according to the site, you would learn the most if you would to sign up with their ezine. I wonder if they would ever run out of things to say about their handmade gift ideas, or often would they be giving us these free skill training…

Anyway, I have signed up, and is now waiting for the first installment of ezine to teach me about origami, pretty cool don’t you think so…

Do you live like you would compare coffee makers?

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

What do I mean by that? Well, do you know how people would compare coffee makers? Check out the link to learn more about it. Anyway, there are many metrics aorund advising on how people should go about doing their coffee maker reviews or ratings.

However, if you ever go to the retail outlets, most people are still sold on the brands and the discount, never on the suitability factor.

Would a coffee machine that has a 50% discount that does espresso be suitable for some that drinks regular coffee only? People are buying based on emotions and urge and not on logic.

Similarly, people are living life according to their imagination or “sold” idea of how life should be. Think about it, 30 years ago, our fathers is always home for dinner and they spend money to raise a family.

Now with so many equipments and assets online, supposedly to make life easier, people are getting more stressed and less time to spend with family.

Checking emails and doing work late into the night is a sign of a reponsible corporate person. You meant to say our fathers are not responsible beings?

If you life you life as you would compare coffee makers, then that is a hard life. You are living according to the rules that the world set, the rules that the world wants you to live in so that everything can get going.

So, how should you live you life? First, you decide what is important? IS your business more important than your family? That meeting more important than your child first birthday?

You get the point.

Cheap coffee makers and my reflection

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

I have not been posting for a while, suddenly just ran out of idea about coffee makers. Then, I saw some advertisement about cheap coffee makers, and how people complained about them and ideas came back.

Think about it. Cheap coffee makers that have a very low retail price might not be so cheap after all as it breaks down easily and usually produces low quality coffee.

Similarly, in life, there are many channels and outlets promising easy money. This is akin to cheap coffee makers, easy to attain goals. But, usually it is not sustainable.

I term these cheap goals. Easy to get but not much value in the long run. How can anyone expect to build a business overnight? It is really possible to attend a 3 hour seminar then expect to have a $10 K income per month?

I do not know about you, but these are going to be like cheap coffee makers, usable for a while, but fragile and breakdown very easily.

The next time, you see someone selling a $10K income dream to you, asked yourself this question, if he can teach people how to make $10K a month, and is already doing so, why is he not focusing his time to earn more $10K??
