The vocal minority really do have a lot of power, especially on Twitter these days. Notice how brands quickly respond to those who call them out on twitter? I have a friend who's gotten free Coldstone and another who's has cartons of Indomie delivered to her for free just because they were vocal on Twitter. Now, I'm sure they're not the only ones who have had complaints about those two brands, but they spoke out and 'got things'. Now, I wish I'd spoken up when I got bad pizza from Pizza Hut, maybe I'd still be getting free pizza from them till today, hehe 🤭.
But I didn't want to go through the stress of whatever and I just thought to myself 'I won't be getting pizza from there again', I did not say anything and nothing happened and there are probably a hundred others like me who also just did the same, so it's highly likely that nothing has changed. I imagine what would have happened if I, or another person in my shoes, had spoken up. They'd have rushed to make amends as though that was their very first flop which was also going to be their last. Why? Because they are aware of the influence that the vocal minority have on the silent majority.
While peace and quiet are important, they're not sufficient for survival. So, some silence and some speaking up, and you'll live just fine. Don't be too noisy and, don't be too silent.
To focus on the things we can control is really what people need to hear, sometimes we get stressed over things we can't control that we forget that we could do better or be better at something by focusing on what we can control.
PS: I like that you ended this with a quote about quitting, I don't tend to see a lot of quotes about quitting, it's always "go for it", "do it", "start it", "persevere" but sometimes the best thing to do in certain situations is to quit. Quitting also takes courage (at least to me).
Yes, I think sometimes we just can't help worrying about everything that could possibly go wrong. Focusing on what we can control is empowering in a way.

Oscillating is not bad at all.
And, thank you for sharing your gems.
This makes so much sense.
Omo I no go mind Coldstone and indomie 😂😂
I agree 100%, speaking up is the way to go especially when there's something important to gain.
Btw, this is my favourite of all the comments you have made on here.
Thank you so much. ✨
