• I don't think any of us have the answers to everything. There's no human being on earth who fits that category. So why wouldn't you ask for help? Why wouldn't you run ideas by people that you respect?

Just do that. It saves you time, it saves your boss's or mentor's time. And it's a great lesson to learn.
