- Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 133 Saying "I can't do it" is not a report.
Saying "I can't do it" is not a report.
When you say, "I can't do it," you're not reporting a fact, you're stating the limits of your ability. "I can't do it," "It will take a while," "It will cost too much," "It will take time" - in many cases, "I can't do it."
In many instances, if you answer "no," you need to clarify what you mean by that. For example, "I can't do that" is often the answer to a request to go to the moon, but when NASA asks SpaceX to go to the moon, it leads to a conversation of “how?"
Some things in this world can never be done, but most of the time, "can't" means "don't want to" or "it's too hard." Before you answer "I can't," remember that if the probability is not 0%, you are expected to think about how you can make that "I can't" happen.
Finally, "I've never done it before" is an excuse. If you can only do what someone else or you have done before, there will be no progress in the world. There is a difference between trying and failing and deciding that you can't and not trying. We should strive to become people who can try even if it fails.
