Guidance for a Project Team Member

Having finished a project, as a project team member you may have no control over what your next assignment might be. Hopefully, it will be a challenging assignment, but you should be careful not to be over confident and to quietly accept whatever you are asked to do. Saliq Lakhnavi offers some practical guidance.

I accept whatever you might give me, but there is an important request.
You should not give me less than my desires nor more than my capabilities.
Saliq Lakhnavi

मुझे जो भी दे वो क़ुबूल है मेरी इल्तिजा ये ज़रूर है

मेरी आरज़ू से भी कम न दे मेरे ज़र्फ़ से भी सिवा न दे

सालिक़ लखनवी

مجھے جو بھی دے وہ قبول ہے میری التجاء یہ ضرور ہے
میری آرزو سےبھی کم نہ دے میرے ظرف سے بھی سوا نہ دے
سالق لکھنوی

[iltijaa = request; zarf = ingenuity, capability; sivaa = more, over and above]

With this in mind, be prudent and recognize your capabilities. Push for challenges so that you can improve your skills, but do not let others position you for potential failures by assigning you to tasks that you know are beyond your abilities. This will only hurt you and your team.
