It's a quote from a former boss a lifetime ago early on in my career when I disagreed with a policy or instruction (long forgotten). It's one I always remembered & gave to others along the way.

What's a piece of advice that stuck with you?

"Feed the bird that comes to the window"

I was raising 2 small kids, working full time and helping advocate for some refugees. I was trying to save the entire world and was run ragged. My cousin saw how my life was and told me the above. It got me to take a step back and just help those who asked - the birds who came to the window. I still try to save the world but have learnt to be a little more selfish.

It's a lot more difficult for someone to be nasty to you in person than over the phone, and harder to be nasty over the phone than in writing.

Told to me by a superior 15 years ago and has served me well since. I pass it on to everyone I have a supervisory/training role for.
