  • Every "yes" is a "no" to a million other things, some of which you can’t even imagine. But they might still be the best things that’ll ever happen to you.
    Make sure you allow them to exist.

      3:48 You really nailed this video. I strongly agree with the points here. Saying NO results to a simpler life and less stress.
      However, it might suited for individuals who are thinkers than those who are outgoing and prefers a shallower but action filled experience.

    Not being able to say no is a sign of low self esteem, and self esteem is critical for success!

      Is this true? Are there any people who are successful, but with low self-esteem? How do I build up my self-esteem?

      @@kentatakao6863 By valuing yourself, your needs and your dreams first! By putting yourself FIRST. And realizing that other people have no power over you, until you choose to give it to them. There is a lot more to building self esteem. But start with these. And another absolutely crucial thing (without this you won't develop healthy Self Esteem), surround yourself with people who lift you up, and do away with those who put you down. It may not be easy, but you must do it. :)

      @@kentatakao6863 There are no successful people with a low self esteem (According to Dan Peña). I haven't heard of any & I can't even imagine a successful person who is not able to say no.
      Even if success gets to a pushover, such a person won't be able to keep it.

    Saying no is like changing our perspective in every situation that we need to make decision.

    I think this is an even greater problem for retirees. People tend to think our time (as retirees) is less important. We do it to ourselves as well. But this phase of life is too important to live without a bigger vision. And to fulfill that vision requires focus.

    The reason why i say no... Because when i say yes it actually means yes. People respond to this. They know not to bother you and they know that you will come through when you say so.
