Learning to say 'No'

Hello guys,

This is Malavika and welcome to my blog!!

Today's topic is not some quote, but it is an important word of life- NO

I know you might be thinking why saying 'NO' is good sometimes, cause when you imagine the word 'NO' what usually comes to our minds is that 'NO' is not giving or not doing something. Well the word 'NO' is very important in life, though it is just a 2 letter word, many people, especially people who are shy find it difficult to say.

I agree that saying 'NO' sometimes when people ask for things can mean that they are not generous, but always saying 'YES' is not good either.

Imagine you have a friend who keeps asking you for things. One day she forgets her pencil, so she asks you and you give her. Next day she again forgets the pencil and you give her. This happens for days and she doesn't seem ashamed of forgetting her pencil everyday. This is because she knows you will give her a spare pencil. It is important to say NO here because only then your friend will realise her mistake and stop doing that. 

Another example is, imagine you have a younger sibling. He/She has a very annoying friend. Lets keep the name of the friend Henry. So whenever Henry comes over to your house, he always wants to come to your room, play with your stuff, and sometimes even spoils some things. You don't feel good about his/her friend. Even though everyday after Henry leaves, you tell yourself that you will tell him not to play with your stuff from tomorrow. But still next time he comes and asks if he can play with ur stuff you are not able to say 'NO'. This can be because u might feel they will think u are not generous or you don't say because you think they will feel bad. But still you have to say no or that kid will never realize his mistake and will continue doing it. 

So my friends, now i think you might have understood why the word 'NO' is very important and I hope, all you shy ones out there ( like me, yes i am shy) start using No for important stuff. 

That is it for today guys.

Until next time

Take care

Byee...
