ENCOURAGING: How to “encourage” good behavior

*** begin quote ***

Any restaurant manger worth his salt would attempt to accommodate a customer in this situation and at the very least give some sort of discount if not just comp the meal outright. Pissed off customers are like a virus to a restaurant and quit often lead to their deaths. The saying is if somebody is happy with their experience they’ll tell their friends but if they’re unhappy they’ll tell everyone.

*** end quote ***

I’d go a little futher and let me share my strategy and tactics to help “the invisible hand of the marketplace” administer some “market discipline”.  If I am happy or unhappy, then I not only tell everyone but I also use social media to praise or complain.  I don’t know if my social media posts make a difference but sometimes I get a positive response from the target.

YMMV

ENCOURAGING: Demonstrating how little we really know challenges us as a speciaes to “wise up”

Scientists Find A Whole New Ecosystem Hiding Beneath Earth’s Seafloor
By Andy Corbley – Aug 15, 2023 

*** begin quote ***

“The discoveries made on each Schmidt Ocean Institute expedition reinforce the urgency of fully exploring our ocean so we know what exists in the deep sea,” said Wendy Schmidt, president and co-founder of Schmidt Ocean Institute. “The discovery of new creatures, landscapes, and now, an entirely new ecosystem underscores just how much we have yet to discover about our Ocean–and how important it is to protect what we don’t yet know or understand.”

*** end quote ***

I’m continually amazed at all the fundamental scientific discoveries we keep making.  The Johari window http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johari_window seems have a huge quadrant 4 (I can’t see; you can’t see) content.

Fascinating.  And, encouraging that there is so much left to discover.

BUCKHANNON, W.Va. (WBOY) — Travelling across the world can be stressful, but arriving in a foreign country with most of your belongings missing can seem like a nightmare. Thankfully, when this situation happened to a Polish marching band visiting Buckhannon, West Virginians were quick to help.

*** end quote ***

All needs were met in 2 hours.  That’s impressive. 

Would be nice to know who screwed up?  So they could make amends.

Perhaps, a GOFUNDME for the community of BUCKHANNON might be a nice idea.

We shouldn’t rely on Karma to reward them.
