From problem to perk

Yesterday my dear mom turned 77. I wouldn’t be here without her. Not only because she gave birth to me, but because she’s been an incredible support through some of the hardest times in my life.

This morning she called. She couldn’t log in on her iPad and asked for help. I couldn’t solve it over the phone, so I promised to take a look the next time I visit.

Since she only uses it for browsing, it doesn’t really matter if she’s logged in or not. I tried explaining that, but she still felt uneasy with that red dot staring back at her.

So I said: “Look at it this way, if it gets stolen, you don’t have to worry about anyone getting access to everything.”

It worked. Just like that, the problem turned into an advantage. Now she’s in love with that little red dot.

Sometimes everything can change even when nothing has changed.
