Question of the week: What's the best career advice you ever received?

The best career advice I ever received was: "Don't be afraid to ask for opportunities and put yourself out there. The worst that can happen is that someone says no."

"Do what you can't" - Casey Neistat
"Always be prepared to be let down."
Never to Give-up! You could rest, heal and get back up.
"You never get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate."
"Be an interesting story. People like a good story. People want to be part of a good story"
The best advice I've ever received is to never want to stop learning, don't think you know everything and be willing to change and adapt your skills.
Best advice I can remember receiving was, “Around here, we don’t ask for permission, we ask for forgiveness”.
Personally, best career advice was that if you don't know how to do something, just go out and ask others, read and learn. Everything is doable, never say "no" right away. We've collected some feedback from our community regarding career choices and I think is worth a read:
A senior of mine in my undergrad told me - Never waste the valuable time in college over a girl! and somehow that worked for me :P
'Only ever hire people who are superior to you in every way' This made a huge difference!!
