The Bird

Think of a bird… 

What kind of bird is it?

Is it flying or sitting?

Is it alone or in a flock?

Is the image clear in your mind?


It’s worth noting that your version of the word “bird” is different from anyone else’s. There is an official definition of the word, but an infinite variety of pictures.


Words mean things and it turns out that one of the keys to great relationships is to avoid defending your version. 


Parting Thought: If you don’t want to get “the bird”, do more listening than talking.
