Just say it!

Other people aren’t mind readers.

So, speak up.  Tell them.  Just say it.

If you are interested in a promotion, inform the appropriate supervisor, just say it.

If you intend to get an “A” in a course, tell the professor, just say it.

If you’d  like that pretty coed to know you’re interested in a date, tell her, just say it.

If you’d like to buy that house for $235,000, make the offer, just say it.

Put yourself out front and on notice.

Commit yourself.

Plant the seeds for thought.

Get feedback and, without having to guess, find out where others stand.

The pretty girl might say, “Yes.”

The seller might say, “OK.”

Your supervior’s response and tone may indicated that it is highly  unlikely that you will ever be seriously considered for promotion.

Good or bad, at least, you won’t have to wonder, you’ll know.

Ask and listen.  You can smile and be really happy that you asked the pretty girl on a date or, you can avoid a stalking or harassment complaint and ask a different pretty girl.

Ask and listen.  You can make another offer on that house or another house.

Ask and listen.  The professor might say that for an “A” he’d expect you to do an extra credit project.

Ask and listen.  You can quit and another job where your future prospects are brighter.

Come out of the dark.  Take a chance.  Find out.  Ask and listen and be in the know.

You are a person of action.  You are’t sitting on the sidelines twiddling your thumbs and hoping that good things will come to you.  You actively pursue your objectives, goals, dreams.  You begin by being informed.

With the information, you move forward or you reconsider, adjust and, if neccessary, you formulate a new plan.
