I think people will walk into the Starbucks store and overnight recognize the significant difference between what Starbucks represents day-in and day-out and all the other coffee companies that have been serving coffee in India for so many years.

But when you really believe-in yourself, in your dream-you just have to do everything you possibly can to take control and make your vision a reality. No great achievement happens by luck.

Success is something that has to be earned every day.

Post-9/11, we saw an immediate uptick in the amount of people in our stores, all over the country. People wanted that human connection. We are not going to fracture the Starbucks experience.

I never took classic business classes in college, so I don't have the background that any of the people running large companies have.

Starbucks is committed to evolving and enhancing our customer experience with innovative and wholesome food offerings.

Success is the by-product when you work toward the target.
