One day back in college, I decided to order a water cooler for my apartment. When the delivery man arrived, I noticed the contraption he carried had three buttons: red, grey, and blue.
Red clearly represented hot, and blue released cold water. That was obvious.
But then there was the grey button. I realized it had to be a compromise of some sorts. But who would want moderately warm water? What purpose could this serve?
I had to find out.
When I asked the service man, he explained to me that temperate water hydrates the body much quicker than cold water.
Now this I could use. Especially in college, where drinking was frequently taking its toll on my body.
Today, I can’t picture my morning WITHOUT the grey button. It eases me into the day. Rather than the blue button's harsh 'liquid ice' wreaking havoc on my throat, the temperate H20 soothingly refuels my tank in the AM.
How often do you go through your routines, completely oblivious to something from which you could possibly benefit?
Take the time to explore. You never know what kind of treasure you’ll find.
Ask about the mysterious grey button.

What about a "make your own grey" button? Where you can mix and match the red and blue buttons to whatever extent your heart desires to come up with the perfect, most hydrating shade of grey. Now thats a winner
