Walking to work this morning and walking past a cigarette wrapper on the floor got me thinking. The best and most effect way to improve a general situation is not to complain about those that cause the problem – rather to start solving it.
Pick up litter when you see it.
Ask the tourist if they need some help when they’re clearly looking cluelessly at a map on a busy street-corner.
Make that introduction that will transform someone else’s life.
Tell the smiling lady that she’s about to drive off with a cup of tea on top of her car.
And then today, an optimistic and actionable blog post by Oli Barrett saying the same thing (but more eloquently). Either you’re the solution or you’re the problem. Like it.
