      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?

        One where he’s sociable and learnt to get along with people. You’d be surprised how often it works.
