Czech term or phrase: baťovské heslo – "Co chceš, to můžeš"
Překládám diplomovou práci o firemním vzdělávání, ve které studentka použila toto heslo. Jak byste to přeložili, aby to nějak hezky znělo (i to uvedení "baťovské heslo").
Nějak mi to všechno divně zní, tak by mě zajímaly vaše nápady.

Asker: Good idea with using "if you want to". My idea seemed too strong to me - I was thinking of using "whatever you want...". But yours I like more. ;-) Thanks!
