We do need the ability in our life to be able to feel good about ourselves, it is very important. That's quite interesting about the birds.

Regular readers of my blog know of my love for looking at divergent areas of knowledge to see what we can learn about leadership and managing our businesses. I hope you'll enjoy the other pieces I've written using such analogies, as well as the ones I expect to write in the future. Thanks again, Reba, for your comment. Appreciate your adding your thoughts to the discussion. Thanks Reba; I'm glad you enjoyed this piece.

I have worked and interacted with animals of all sorts most of my life. They have life lessons for me every day. Thank you for noticing and communicating that we are indeed part of the natural world and can do better by acknowledging, interpreting and using what we see around us.

You are the Master of Metaphor - and I simply Love the practical life lesson you've drawn from a seemingly unrelated statistic. Well done!! Wow! Thank you for directing me here.

That's very kind of you to say. It's always nice to hear that ideas or pieces one writes about are resonating with others. I'm glad the inclusion of this study has helped to explain something you've noticed in your birding excursions. I certainly found it fascinating how these birds maintained this resolve to not give up on living in these urban environments on account of our noise pollution; that they simply found an another path to take so they could carry on their way. Makes you appreciate how for the animals, there is no concept of the grass being greener. Thanks again for your kind compliments, Meredith. They are most appreciated. :) Why, thank you, Meredith.

My passion outside of work is birding. I love being out with nature and watching these beautiful creatures in action. Really helps me stay "in the moment." I had experienced differences in bird songs within a given species but had no idea why until reading this post. So I enjoyed your introductory comments all by themselves. But the connection you made with human environments is sheer genius. I have seen first-hand the difference it makes in my own attitude, motivation and energy when I'm surrounded by a single negative, pessimistic person vs. positive, action-oriented, can-do people. Thank you for this excellent post and the points you made. I've added yours to blogs I follow. I love the way you think and write. I was also drawn to your post by the title, Tanveer.

You're right that it's important to give others a chance, to see what might be under that gruff or indifferent front. After all, we have to remember that in our interactions with these people, we're only getting one part of their sphere of influence - ours. So, it's hard to really appreciate what other factors are influencing their behaviour or mood, unless we take the time to delve deeper and see if there's something more to be found. Thanks again for your comment, Janet and your kind compliment. Thanks Janet; I appreciate that.

And it is necessary to give attention to the ones that will bring us more positive flow. I do like to include all people though, sometimes the people that appear to be gruff have a very gentle heart. I like to dig deeper to see the true self and not be influenced by the surface. I like to believe that most humans have a good heart they just need a chance and be told that they make a difference. Great blog as usual,so creative Tanveer. Yes, we are definitely influenced by the people around us. And it is necessary to give attention to the ones that will bring us more positive flow.
