Over a cup of coffee

Aside from the natural distinctive aroma of the roasted beans of brewed coffee, I most love simple conversation over a cup of coffee blended with the presence of my friends.

One chilly winter morning, my friends and I were sitting around a small table in our cafeteria talking about trivial things. We were freezing inside our jackets and our hands were as cold as cat's nose but a hot coffee fired up our conversation and fueled our bonds. It may sound like nonsense, but it was actually a special moment in time. What really matters most then was the pleasant conversation inside that small cafeteria. I haven't met some of those men before, and I say that first impressions are usually lasting. We brought the gathering to ones of our homes and unleashed the communications over more steaming cups of hot coffee. Evryone laid down their cards, expressed their ideas, talk about themselves, and listened as others talked. Differences were set aside and gaps were bridged.

These things happened in a cold wintry atmosphere when melancholy usually prevails and gray clouds lowers over a gloomy lethargy Winter is a season we feel sedated, and would rather stay in the comfort of our homes. Coffee is just right for passing time, relaxing and talking. Holding hot coffee mugs warms our hands and talking with friends while sipping over a cup of coffee tightens our bonds with them.

This story illustrates the essence of communications in building relationships. Furthermore, it helps builds successful work. Communications for me is the greatest invention men had ever made. It plays a vital part in our relationships with our families, friends, companies, and communities. Effective communications plays a significant role in a successful organization. Keeping communications line open will go a long way toward creating and maintianing a healthy environment.

Friendship is a continous communication full of interest, whether warmed over a cup of coffee or not.
