How Starbucks Saved My Life
How Starbucks Saved My Life is about equality. The main theme in this story was not how people should be treated equal though, as most themes that have to do with equality do.
The main theme in this story is that everyone IS equal. It showed how anyone could succeed in
life, no matter what their background. And all of this was not from a wise man's point of view who knew these principles all his life, but of a fortunate man born into the upper class who was taught that it was where you came from that mattered. He grew up believing that the different economic classes of people determined who you were.
But out of this it is revealed that there are several ways of achieving success. Forms
that would never be considered among those fortunate enough as to get a prestigious College education to become a great architect, businessman, or politician. Achievements that are not less important in any way. For what would we do without those businesses that served
individuals in our nation? What would we do without the owners and managers of these businesses? Without these smaller businesses that served the public, there would be no business for the big corporations to serve! Therefore, would someone who managed to rise out of poverty to get a minimum wage job at somewhere like Starbucks, and advance up in the ranks not be successfui?
That is what Michael Gill discovered (anyhow). No one person is better than another because of his economic Status. It is your character that defines you. And, yes, it is possible to be successfui without being considered a member of the "Upper class". You become successfui
when you reach whatever truly makes you happy. You might be happy as a manager of a restaurant, or happy as a Journalist, or happy as an nurse. Or perhaps you are happy as a great architect or a doctor. That is why everyone is unique. That is why everyone is already created equal. Everyone is needed for society to function at max capacity.
