Some people always want to do what’s easiest for them

 Some people will always do what is easiest for them

With these people the easiest option is not to ask for permission but beg for forgiveness 

Even then the only way to find out whether they actually mean what they say is to push back

Sport teachers always said you can’t play tennis, you can’t start a hockey club, you can’t use the other side of the sports hall

All it took was a little push back on my side to get what I want 

To often previously I have allowed myself to be a push over 

The best example of this was when my DofE instructor told me I had packed my bad wrong, I thought it was fine and told him so 

This ended up with him spending 5 minutes re- arranging my bag

This skill is a delicate one, it is hard to read when people are making you a push over and when they actually mean what they say 

It’s a balance I’m still trying to understand
