In various aspects of life, such as sports, climbing Everest, or starting your own company, the adage “everything is possible, impossible is nothing, and if you can dream it, you can do it” often holds true. These endeavours thrive on determination, hard work, and an unyielding belief in success. However, these inspiring ideals frequently collide with an immovable obstacle: government bureaucracy.
Here are the types of government officials you might encounter: You haven’t truly faced rejection until you’ve met the Always NO for an Answer guy. Here’s a typical conversation: Me: Can I come in? NO Guy: No, first leave your slippers outside. Me (in my mind): This is a government office; it can’t get any dirtier.
Me: Can I sit here? NO Guy: NO. Me: Will you do my work? NO Guy: NO. Me: Will you take a bribe? NO Guy: NO.
Me: Have I come to the right office? NO Guy: NO. Me: Will you tell me the correct office to go to? NO Guy: NO. Me: Do you have any friends? NO Guy: NO.
Me: Does your family love you? NO Guy: NO. Me: Can I leave? NO Guy: Yes. Some people aim high and settle low.
