Fantastic Advice

So, for a while there I've been doing construction. Well, mostly bitch labor...

Tearing down walls, cutting stuff, moving lumber.. etc... bitch work.. but it was fun.

Anyway, I worked alongside this 57 year old man, and somehow we got on the topic of communicating, and asking people for stuff you need. He gave me this advice, which in turn I've applied to the "day-to-day".

"Never in my life has anything turned out better for me, by having kept my mouth shut and not asking".

Now granted, I know there are times in life where you should DEFINITELY KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

But in most circumstances, whether it's a nervous phone call or if I'm feeling shy asking someone a favor, this advice holds true.

Thanks Steve.
