Give Something a Shot
Speak as Jacob
Speak as Stephen
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.
