I saw this put really, really well not too long ago:
> A lot of us got the message earlier in life that we had to wait for other's permission or encouragement to do things, when in fact, all you need is the ability to understand the situation and deal with the consequences
- kqr 2y agoSo fun to see other variations of this. I have for a while said > You never need permission to do a good job. But of course, it takes the experience to understand the nuances of what a good job is in the domain at hand, in the organisation and society at hand.
- darkwater 2y ago> You never need permission to do a good job. If you don't mind, I will steal this one.
- jalict 2y agoLove the irony of this post.
- corytheboyd 2y agoI’m sure there’s a flashy way to say it, but yours reminds me of this one: > Only ask for permission if you want to be told “no”
- pcthrowaway 2y agoThe one I'm familiar with is: > It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Of course this can be used to justify all sorts of terrible things, but I've mainly seen it as pretty innocent in work environments when applying common sense.
