His story is truly American. I’d love to dive into Obama’s mind and discover his motives and internal dialog. To go through a year of campaigning is very difficult, but to go through a year of campaigning and deliver a speech like that is truly inspirational.

What’s also fascinating is looking at the dynamic of who voted, how they voted, and what drove them to vote. Obama’s campaign created a wave of energy that grew bigger and bigger as his campaign moved forward, engulfing (in a good way) each supporter and supercharging them. How did they do this? It all started with a vision. Obama’s vision, planted deep within his mind, began to take root almost 2 years ago today. The power of his vision can teach every American citizen about how to accomplish goals using the powers of visualization and intention.

I looked into this vision questing further and found that many super-successful people have been using vision boards to help focus their mind and accomplish their dreams. A vision board is a collage of images pasted on a board that represent your desired outcomes, your goals, and dreams. By studying your vision board, your brain gains clarity on what is important to your success, the things you MUST accomplish. I found a site http://www.TheVisionBoardKit.com that allows you to download a free 8-step power plan to creating vision boards. I’d highlight recommend downloading it.

Point two is this when I think of coffee or latte I don’t think hey I’ll go to McDonald’s or Dunkin Donuts, I think Starbucks. McDonald’s has about 80 plus items none of which are decent or even worth the price. Almost everything there is pre-made and sent to them and when I want a donut I buy from Dunkin but not their coffee drinks.
Starbucks is known for coffee and pastry and specialty drinks. Frappachinos included. The reason behind people preferring McDonald’s coffee over Starbucks is because Starbucks makes coffee to taste the proper way which means its stronger than normal.
Most people I know who came through the line at the Starbuck’s I worked at always said that its too strong. No you make it at home not properly, probably never clean out the coffee maker and buy some cheap coffee like Maxwell House or Folgers and never do the recommended way of brewing so after years of this those people think Starbucks is too strong or simply tastes terrible.
McDonald’s coffee watered down, hotter than its supposed to be, and is not made with purified water but tap and although it says Premium Roast its actually John Conti and it hasn’t changed.
Even the people I work with now when you pour the coffee they have made in the morning its light colored brown water.
And coffee has over 900 different complexities and under flavors which is 300 more than wine, plus I would point out that after I have left Starbucks I am used to the coffee they make and only buy their brand beans and make it properly to specs.
I can’t drink the other stuff because it flat out is terrible.
McDonald’s food shouldn’t be classified as food but rather incredibly processed life like imitation food. When you offer 80 items or more you do make money simply because now you appeal to a larger base consumer but when you specialize in nothing anymore and offer substandard service and quality regardless of your capital base a year I don’t go there and haven’t for the past several years.
I worked with guy who worked for McDonald’s back in the 60’s and he told me how they used to get there early and peal and slice real potatoes and hand pat out real meat which he told me how they had thicker patties back then. And had to mix the shake mix by hand adding real ice cream and whatnot. He told me today McDonald’s is horrible compared to what they used to taste like. Their Ice Coffee offering sucks, because its the same coffee they use for their hot brew. Some coffee’s like Terrazza is designed for ice coffee and is not very good as hot brewed, furthermore they also don’t make it double strength which I asked a employee who came to our store and bought coffee from us. Anyone knows that ice coffee has to made double strength because the ice melts over time while it is chilled and weakens the taste.

Anyway that is my two cents and by the if New York is the greatest city in world why should anyone in their right mind pay 1200 dollars a month for 600 square feet apartment. I pay 378 a month for my 600 square foot apartment.
