Are you the type of person who always says YES Are you brave enough to say NO It’s okay to say NO and people are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.
I’m not saying to say NO to someone who really needs your help. I’m talking about turning down that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at.
Think for a moment how you feel when you say YES to something that you really don’t want to do. If you are like I once was, you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much. It weighs on your mind. Whatever you are saying to yourself, if you really wanted to go, you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts.
★ . Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting (by the way, it is not one you must attend) your boss isn’t going to like you or your coworkers won’t respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom, dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything for them that they ask every occasion.
If these people are your true friends, family members, or a good boss, they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you usually use, and if you’re someone who always says YES then that’s what they are expecting.
You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real obligations (义务) in life to fulfill, but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.

A. You need to do something that is suitable for you.
B. You have the rights to refuse everything.
C. You have real obligations to do nothing.
