Coffee is bitter, but we love it sweet.

The headquarters of Boeing, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Starbucks are destined to be extraordinary in Seattle, while Seattle people accustomed to keeping a low profile do not seem willing to show off. Only the white-green paper cups in people's hands reveal people's love for Starbucks.

[Seattle]

Whether in the United States or anywhere else in the world, there is hardly a second city like Seattle: inside and outside the city is lined with secluded harbors, rivers, green trees, colorful streets and green hills around the city. and mislanded hidden dozens of lakes of different sizes. Green hills, lakes, lush almost virgin forests, warm climate, such as spring four seasons, this is also known as the "Emerald City" Seattle, is the commercial, cultural and high-tech center of the Pacific Northwest, but only less than 150 years old, filled with the aroma of coffee all the year round, is recognized as the city with the highest quality of life in the United States.

[the world's first Starbucks]

In 1971, the world's first Starbucks officially opened at 1912 Park Market in Seattle. Today, Starbucks has set up operations in more than 6000 locations in more than 30 countries and has more than 21500 stores in 64 countries. Starbucks coffee chains enjoy the ubiquity. The name of the store comes from Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick, which describes whaling stories in the 19th century. For a store that introduces the world's finest coffee and sells it to the hungry Seattle people who suffer from the cold sea breeze, the name "Starbucks" with the characteristics of marine fisheries looks tailor-made.

Seattle people love coffee. Some people attribute this to Seattle's rainy climate, and people need coffee to stay happy.

The cafe in Seattle is very similar to the teahouse in China. In Seattle, people go to cafes to talk to friends, where they read books, play games, work with computers, or rest and relax.

Coffee is strong, bitter, astringent, sweet and soft, swallowing slowly in the mouth, leaving a sweet smell in the mouth, you will find that life and its implied longitude and latitude. Fine and authentic coffee always has a bitter aftertaste.

Making a cup of coffee, calmly watching the smell of coffee rising gracefully in front of my eyes, sniffing bursts of fragrance, thoughts floating on the surface of the brown liquid spinning in the cup, and fantasy falling to the bottom of the cup. Gently sip, through the mouth into the belly, that mellow will sneak into the soul, impetuous heart gradually calm down. Take away the sorrow when it is bitter, bring the calmness after sweetness; take away the grievance when it is sour, and bring the self-care after success.

Coffee is more like the true portrayal of life, life is not only bitter, not just sweet, accompanied by joys and sorrows; life is not all the way setbacks, not all the way perfect, disaster and beauty exist at the same time. Happiness and happiness, success and harvest, to relatives and friends, are the "milk" and "sugar" in life. When you don't add anything, you have to learn to aftertaste. Life needs aftertaste, aftertaste failure, find their own crux; aftertaste of success, give people the confidence to move forward.

Luck is a guest who doesn't like to visit a lazy guest. a playful person can never wait for a lucky visit. only those who have experienced failure and tenaciously get up and move forward are entitled to be blessed by luck. Mark Twain once said: "in the first half of life, there is the ability to enjoy but not the opportunity to enjoy; in the second half of life, there is the opportunity to enjoy but not the ability to enjoy." A good life can never be achieved without a price, and life can only be colorful after soaking in bitter water. "how can plum blossoms smell sweet without a chill?"

Coffee is really bitter, but we love it sweet!
