Arrogance is okay

"I want to travel on site, else I will put in my papers".
"I don't want to take up this project, because it is not my interest"
"How can I work on a support project? I am a creator"

We hear these often from our own vocal chords. I am a big proponent of letting your tongue speak your mind. I encourage people who openly tell what they want, even if it means it would cause a 1000 m deep crater in your heart. I encourage them to be arrogant. You never know if it is arrogance or self confidence. In my perspective, it is a fine line.

My reasoning to this argument arises for a simple IF-THEN-ELSE clause statement. Let me explain it below.

IF (WANT_TO_TRAVEL_ONSITE=TRUE and REQUEST=IMMEDIATE and TELL_IT_OUT = TRUE)
{
IF(REQUEST = ACCEPTED)
THEN YOU_ARE_HAPPY;
ORGANIZATION_IS_NEITHER_HAPPY_NOR_SAD;
ELSE
{
YOU_THREATEN_TO_RESIGN;
IF(YOU=EXCELLENT_ASSET)
{
RESIGNATION = DENIED;
YOU_ARE_PERMITTED_TO_TRAVEL_ONSITE;
YOU_ARE_HAPPY;
ORGANIZATION_IS_NEITHER_HAPPY_NOR_SAD;
}
IF(YOU= NOT_SO_EXCELLENT_ASSET)
{
RESIGNATION = ACCEPTED;
YOU_QUIT;
YOU_ARE_NOT_HAPPY;
ORGANIZATION_IS_NEITHER_HAPPY_NOR_SAD;
}
}


}
IF (WANT_TO_TRAVEL_ONSITE=TRUE and REQUEST=IMMEDIATE and TELL_IT_OUT = FALSE)
{
YOU_ARE_NOT_HAPPY;
ORGANIZATION_IS_NEITHER_HAPPY_NOR_SAD;
}

From the above funny logic, it looks like the probability of you being happy is when you tell it out and demand what you want (arrogance might be a corporate term). Because the organization is neither going to be happy nor sad by your demands. The logic can be hacked in many different ways, but I believe to explain something very abstract, a simple rule can highlight the most probable event. So arrogance is okay, demanding what you want is okay. Because the end result should be the one that makes you happy.
