Go ahead and break with a friend’s advice if you think that you really have a shot at something. The worst thing that can happen is sitting through their I-told-you so’s.
Draw strength from your circle of encouraging friends and colleagues. They have a better idea of your capabilities than you do right now.
Someone may have promised you a rose garden, but rose gardens come with thorns and aphids. Like anything else, they take work.
Okay. Maybe you did stretch the truth a bit, but this is one of those situations where the ends clearly justifies the means.
You’re going to want to say “yes” but respond with a “let’s see” instead. That sweet deal on the table could be made even sweeter.
It looks like upsets in another person’s life will end up benefiting you. Make the most of this opportunity without looking too opportunistic.
