"寻求宽恕比请求许可更好"
— Grace Hopper
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, it's easier to go ahead and do something without asking if it's okay first. If you make a mistake or upset someone, you can say sorry later and fix the problem. This is often quicker and it allows you to take bold actions instead of waiting for approval. For example, imagine a basketball player decides to take a risky shot during a game, even though their coach might not like it. If the shot goes in, the team wins and everyone is happy; if it doesn't, the player can apologize and learn from the experience. This approach encourages taking chances and being resourceful. In life, this can help you to be more proactive and achieve more, rather than always waiting and asking for permission to move forward.
