"Yes, I would love another cup of tea" is a book by Katharine Branning.

The introductory video describes the Turkish style of drinking tea, very well, which is formed with Turkish life style and culture, according to the author.

“When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world.  As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country.

But it, too, seemed immovable.

As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.

And now as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize:  if I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.

From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I might have even changed the world.”

These words were written on the tombstone of an Anglican Bishop in Westminster Abbey, London.
