      He’s right, though - unless there are real legal repercussions or it’s an impossible task, just say “yes”. Worst case scenario, you’ll do a bad job of it and whoever requested your service won’t do it anymore.

        also if there aren’t legal repercussions but you’re still endangering people by fucking it up, please don’t :)

      Right. This is what I see in the quote. No one, in my entire life, has ever simply offered me an amazing opportunity. I’ve had to apply, interview, fight for that opportunity.

      Who is getting opportunities handed to them they’re not qualified for? What world does this guy live in?

    In the sense of this meme it’s actually true. An airforce recruiter comes to you with the opportunity to be a fighter pilot you take the offer first. You clear medical, they send you to basic, then flight school, then you learn to be a fighter pilot. At no point before they sign you up do they have any requirements of needing to know how to fly.

    I did reply once this phrase to a boss of mine, and I used a commercial pilot as an example…

    I also told him that, I would kill everyone on board if i did such a thing.
