LEARN TO SAY " NO "

Be confident, straight forward, courageous and never hesitate to say 'NO' when it is so demanded by situation. Your slight courage in saying 'NO' can sometimes save you from unpleasantness of the whole life time. Have your independent personality which should stand like a rock amidst even severe opposition if you are right. Also have the courage to raise your voice against any injustice or wrong being done. If you want to become great and unique, you will have to be different from the rest of the crowd. However being straight forward shouldn't be confused with being arrogant. It is possible to be straightforward while still remaining polite and respectful. If possible, you can also explain the reasons to the other party for saying 'NO' .

Some people say that by saying 'NO' other person may feel annoyed and displeased, but, remember that your purpose in this life is not to please others. Your aim is self development. Pleasure and displeasure of another person depends more of his own mentality rather than on what you say. For example, if a person is of negative mentality, he will view everything negatively no matter what you say or do.
