"No pidas permiso solo pide perdón"

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, it’s better to do something first and deal with the consequences afterward, rather than waiting for approval that might never come. Imagine you are planning a surprise birthday party for a friend at their house while they are away. If you ask for permission from their parents or roommates, they might say no, and the party won't happen. Instead, you just go ahead with the surprise, and if anyone gets upset later, you apologize. This approach can be useful when you're confident that what you’re doing is ultimately a good idea or beneficial, but you know getting permission will be difficult or make things more complicated. Applying this to real life, you can make decisions more boldly and take action when time is critical or when the risk of asking for permission is higher than the potential fallout of apologizing later. However, it's very important to use this wisdom carefully and consider the possible negative outcomes before acting.
