Give Something a Shot

HOW TO USE

Speak as Jacob
Speak as Stephen
Jacob: I thought you were going to quit your job and start your own company. Whatever happened to that?

Stephen: I was going to, but I got scared. What if the business fails?

Jacob: I think that you shouldn't worry too much about that. Give it a shot and see what happens. If it fails, you can always find a job at a different company.

Stephen: I know you're right, but it is easier said than done.

Jacob: Don't overthink it. Just do it.

Stephen: Okay. I'm going to give it a shot. I'm going to submit my letter of resignation tomorrow. And if my new business fails, then I'm going to blame you.

Jacob: What?

Stephen: I'm just joking.
