I Can't

When somebody tells you that they can't do something what are they really telling you? Typically they aren't telling you they can't, they are telling you they either don't want to, or are not willing to. There is almost nothing that can't be done. Certainly they may not be equipped to do it right now, but that does not mean it couldn't be done at some point in the future. The difference between can't and can is some combination of time, resources, willingness and priority. So when somebody tells you they can't do something figure out which area they are lacking in: time, resources, willingness or priority and what you can do to help them solve their problem so they can help you solve yours.
