When I posted the other day about wriggle room I quoted the oft heard phrase "my boss would never let me do that." Is this really true? Or is it just imagined?
So often we limit ourselves through our assumptions about what other people think. We assume the worst because that lets us off the hook. It's not our fault we havent been what we could have been. It was him, it was them, it was the system.
Many moons ago I wrote "Is authority more important to those who wield it or those who
defer to it?"
Too often I suspect it is the latter.
