Only those who never consider how to report can ever report.

If you're constantly worrying about what to do if this doesn't work out or how to explain it if that falls through—sorry, you'll never get promoted to team lead.

The bolder you are and the more super-confident you appear, the more likely you are to seize opportunities. The moment you show even a hint of hesitation—sorry, they won't bring you on board.

At any time, those who rise quickly and grab resources are always the loudmouths.

You've got to blow your own horn first. Only by making big claims will resources come your way—and with resources in hand, you actually have a shot at pulling it off.

Resources will always favor those brave enough to bet on themselves.
