It Takes Three

Daniel Glazman has an interesting post on the addition of transformation capabilities to CSS. I mention it, though, because of his thoughts in the final paragraph, which rung very true with my own experiences:

…you always have to bring a proposal three times on the table. The first time, it’s immediately rejected; the second time, it’s rejected but discussed; the third time, it’s accepted.

I’d not thought of it in these terms before, but it will certainly help me be more tenacious in future.

    A really interesting thought which certainly worked for Peter when he was little and probably Ben when he’s older!
    I think you and I Andrew are the ask once variety. I will now have to pursue this tactic and see what happens.
