- The "nasty birds" story is an allegory for the power of adverse events that have the potential to destroy us OR make us bigger, better, and stronger. The idea has been expressed by philosophers like Nietzsche and rappers like Kanye West: What doesn't kill me makes me stronger!
- These "dirty birds" speak of:
- The untimely loss of a loved one
- Job loss
- Career setbacks because of the decisions of others
- Soured relationships
- Divorce
- Moving
- Chronic illness or major injury

- These stressful events have the potential to feed us, to make us stronger and larger nonprofit leaders. Warning, they also have the potential to make us bitter.
