Do I get to attend that meeting?

Will I be picked for that project?

Should I speak up here?

Where is the meeting where the work I want to do is happening?

What is my project and who should I invite to collaborate?

What is the truth that is asking to be told here?

Maturity means progressively thinking less about things like standing and status and more about purpose and initiative.
