Last week we went for breakfast in a very nice coffee shop in my neighborhood. After ordering, the waiter came with a group of cards and asked us to pick one card each. I picked the pink one and this quote was written on the back side: "Work hard - Dream big - Never give up" Do you have any favorite quotes? Or maybe some important words or a life lesson that gives you motivation and you try to follow? (The photo is mine.)

That's very interesting. I had to read it twice to get the meaning, it will become one of my favorites now.

Life has ups and downs and we get some very good lessons from the downs I agree. We should be strong and keep working hard always.

Life is a cycle with the positive and negative moments. The good days will come again soon, and when they come you will be stronger and ready to enjoy them.

They said we were, but then the waiter took the cards back. I would like to have kept it! I don't know the book, I will search for it. What is it about?

@besweet Oh, the book is called Slaughter-house Five. It wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea!

That's nice that you were all given such cards. Did you discuss each other's cards? I don't really have a favourite quote.

We did! But I don't remember what my husband's card said. It's a fun small activity idea, we will go back again.

@JudyEv Yes it was very smart. And a good conversation starter for friends and groups of people. It's a reason to go back!

@besweet I think it's a clever idea on behalf of the venue as it makes the time seem less while you're waiting for your meal.

It was a nice surprise in our breakfast. Sometimes we find motivation in the most unexpected places.

I like that idea of giving positive quote card to the coffee shop customers! One of my favorites is by Maya Angelou "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style."
