When you already finished an output you think is good but then later find that your boss or colleague has comments about it that required some changes, you may begin to roll your eyes.
As tempting as it is to respond with, “I’ve thought about it and tried to do something earlier, but it can’t be done,” pause for a moment and think again.
Is that what you really mean? That it can’t be done?
What if you just don’t want to do it?
And instead of saying, “No, I’m done with that work, and I have already moved on, so I won’t do it,” you try to be as professional with, “It can’t be done.”
But it will eventually show in all your work. The attitude that you are okay with mediocre work. That you are not open to feedback, which is an excellent opportunity for growth.
Having a programmed response of “it can’t be done” when you actually mean “I won’t do it” eventually makes you stuck in your career or in life.
