One thing I admire about the younger generation is their audacity.
If they want something, they just ask for it like it’s their gawd-damn-right.
Higher salary, promotion, flexible working arrangements, calling people out. They ask.
I grew up thin-faced. Because I was scared being rejected.
Of course, thick face can become entitlement when you start believing you deserve everything just because you asked for it.
But thin face can also cost us opportunities because nobody knows what you want if you don’t ask.
Maybe need to find a balance.
How about this! Thick enough to ask. Thin enough to accept the answer is no.
Don’t lose your audacity. It’s spectacular and I love it!
