"Unexpected forms of generosity:

Being early can be a form of generosity. You wait, so they don't have to.
Leaving something unsaid can be a form of generosity. You don't always need the last word.
Delivering your work on time can be a form of generosity. You make life easier for everyone downstream.
Not taking things personally can be a form of generosity. You give people the space to say things imperfectly.”
