Change is possible parking machine

A South African man was paying for his parking when he noticed something on the screen that could serve as an inspiration for many.

 

Werner Volschenk was paying for his parking at a mall in Cape Town when he noticed the machine had a hidden message.

The social media user immediately posted the parking pay station message to his Facebook.

Okay… maybe it wasn’t hidden and maybe it was just the parking pay station informing the payee that the device offered change for large bank notes but sometimes the universe gives us what we need to hear and yeah, change is possible.

The post has inspired many people to be introspective and look at the message as more than just a parking machine giving the user more than just advice on how to pay.

“Believe in change”

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but building the new”

“Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end”

“One reason people resist change is because they focus on what they have to give up, instead of what they have to gain.”

“Sometimes change is what we need”

So thank you Plato parking machine… we’ll be looking forward to finding more magical messages in everyday machines.
