“Come in and try the worst coffee one woman on
Tripadvisor had in her life.”
~
Coffee shop sign
This made me chuckle, but then it made me
think. Apparently social media and trip
site posts can make or break businesses, so a comment on Tripadvisor citing the
“worst coffee” could be a real problem for a coffee shop. The owners decided to embrace the criticism
and use it for a laugh and a sort of publicity.
In other words, they took a negative and did their best to turn it into
a positive.
There are bad things that happen in life that
are tough to turn around and see any good.
Some things in life are just unexplainable and bad/sad! Even in those situations, we attempt to find
the silver lining. We strive to use the
experience for strength or learning.
In the case of the sign, the coffee shop
owners, may have used the criticism to look at their quality control, as well
as the impetus for a humorous sign.
In the case of tragedies (and please do not
think I am making light of tragedy by comparing it to a coffee shop sign) we
gain courage or the motivation to help those in need. It is tough to see any good in sadness. The hope is that by pulling together for the
good of all, we can make the world better even in (especially in) dark times.
Thanks
for all you do!
Mary
