Tea of the day – Tea for work

 
Picture from yahoo blog

English Breakfast is one of my favorite tea.

It is a must for me to have it everyday.
If I have to work on that day, I must have it; at least 3 cups of it.
It is like a tea for work; every morning, the tea cup will stand on the left corner on my desk.

This tea has become part of my life; so involved.

This tea reminds me about workaholic.
People think that I am workaholic, because I am a type of person who cannot take rest, if I have a holiday more than 2 days, I will become sick and have a temperature.

Studies from 2007 showed that 1/3 of Canadians consider themselves are workaholic.
I think the term, “Workaholic” can be vanished, if people truly love and enjoy their work and perceive work as part of life or what life is all about.

                     

Favorite – English Breakfast tea (Medium Flavour) + little bit of milk

- blended with Kenyan and Assam Black Tea

Asssam tea is from India, second largest provider.
Kenyan tea from Kenya.

However, some English Breakfast tea would use Keemun.

Hello…

I got an email with a title, saying “Hello”, it was about the World Hello Day.
I have never heard about World Hello Day, but it happens every year on Nov 21. 
It started about 35 years ago because of the conflict between Israel and Egypt.

It is a day for us to express and concern about world peace. 
It starts with a simple greeting to people or having activities or sending messages to people.

The root of conflict usually starts with people who don’t know each other or don’t understand each other.
Indeed, the World Hello Day is for the world peace, but I think it is important for people in this century as well.
It seems that more violent cases or bullying happening in families or in schools, and it seems that we don’t have talk to each other face to face or concern about others anymore because of the technology that we can select who we want or don’t want to talk to.  It is interesting from research showing that younger generations are not that interested about the community they live in now.

It is also fascinating that the culture that happens in university, people walk down the hallway (without stopping), saying “What’s up?”, “Hi!”, “How are you?” to people they know.  So, I always wonder, do you really mean you really what to know how am I doing or care about me?  Because you just seem you are not intended to stop and really want to have a little chat or catch up at all.

Is it we are too busy? or people nowadays just do not care about others at all.

Isn’t it nice to start saying “Hi!”, “How are you?” to strangers or neighbours? or even the smallest step, say it to your family when you wake up everyday in the morning. Or even just smile to people.
