We spend our whole lives holding back.
Imagine how quickly you can succeed if you just take what you want.
Dennis Rogers – Far Cry 3
Think about it, everyone is holding back so damn often. Several times a day you make compromises, you are polite, you do not won’t to offend people, you do not want to stress people.
What if you just took what you wanted? Well, chances are you’d get it!
While it is totally normal to be holding back from time to time for reasons of politeness or simply because you care it is also very important and I encourage you to just take what you want from time to time. You have to learn that noone really gifts you anything for no reason.
Asking nicely often times is enough reason, just be bold and take what you want!

Haha I also encountered this quote while playing Far Cry 3, and when I heard that my jaw dropped!!! What an inspiring nugget of truth in a video game of all things. Love it, very solid stuff and definitely words of wisdom from a video game character of all things. These days video games will try to de-motivate you to get you to buy more products or keep playing the game.
