Have you heard the advice: “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade“?
It’s advice to seek out the positive in a negative circumstance.
Throughout the pandemic, we have had lots of encouraging examples of this in practice, situations where individuals and businesses have used innovation to turn challenging events into opportunities.
Here’s a smaller scale example but it’s close to my heart.
My young nephew celebrated his birthday recently. His wish for his birthday was that he and his family would go to ‘Old McDonalds‘. He likes to eat burgers and was curious as to where they keep all the noisy farm animals.
Unfortunately before the birthday, Covid paid a visit so going anywhere to eat burgers or suss out farm animals was off limits.
My nephew was disappointed but his innovative and talented mum was at least able to deliver on the burger front. What you see in the photo is the birthday cake!
Burger for main course and dessert anyone?
