Today i wanted to do something useful and so started to go through some e learning materials.Wherein i came across a beautiful concept which is stated below.
Learning to say "NO" is not negativism. It actually frees you to say "YES" to the matter that actually matters.
What a powerful statement?????
We generally tend to be submissive or accept everything because we like to please everybody and tend to do everything despite of the fact that we really dont wish to do it.We overburden ourselevs and also dont have enthusiasm in doing it, for we started to do it for others. As a result, end up messing up things, put ourselevs into immense stress andend up the relationship for which we started doing all these.
Whats wrong in saying a NO when you really dont want to do it. Fine, we need not be aggressive in turning down but still we can be polite in refusing or denying, which i would suggest is far better than messing up things.
Saying NO doesnt create an image that we turn down everything or also that we are adamant or a person with too much head weight. Its in the way how we tell them. We need to give priority toour work too.
And with the same idea running in my mind during lunch came back and started writing the same in board near me. I did not notice that someone was standing behind me. I just sat after writing andwas startled hearing the voice behind me. It was one of the PM's in my dept.From his talk on this topic i realised he also ahd the same idea in his mind. It was nice talking to him about this.This was the first time i have spoken to him. A nice ice breaker though...:-)
