This brings home William Ury's thoughts in his book about how a "NO" can really be 2 Yes's. If you didn't say no to the baby shower, who knows if one of your other projects wouldn't have fell through.<BR/><BR/>O is really a great magazine, I didn't start reading it until a couple years ago and I kick myself for it. The content is really ageless and unisex!<BR/><BR/>To Anonymous: This is an area I didn't think about when I posted this piece but you're so right in the 2 areas. Pro., people like doctors are always hit up for free advice, even when they're at a party trying to relax... tisk, tisk, tisk... also as you said some people seek out people like yourself and Doris, kind and giving people to use at will. They then never have time when you're in need of help. No can turn into something powerful... like garlic to a vampire.Ana:http://www.blogger.com/profile/05419538095440088951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724454431224404626.post-41481563803926328402008-08-05T23:09:00.000-04:002008-08-05T23:09:00.000-04:00I am a notary and find that my neighbors will often come to me for free advice and services. This article is very empowering. I have learned to say no over the years and it is quite a liberating experience! Saying "no" gives me time to do what I want to do, not what others put on my desk. It also shuts down manipulative people whose daily agenda is to seek out wishy-washy people to use. Great article. We need more of this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724454431224404626.post-85145222204690923092008-08-05T22:37:00.000-04:002008-08-05T22:37:00.000-04:00I love Oprah!<BR/><BR/>I read that article, ane since I'm the PTA president, the soccer team mom, the lady who bakes the cakes at church, the favorite pet sitter and the wife who cooks dinners for stranger-clients at the last minute I find saying no one of the most difficult things, <BR/><BR/>This year when my coworkers wanted to pitch in and throw a baby shower for a new person who had worked with us less then two months, I said no. <BR/><BR/>Great article!<BR/><BR/>Doris<BR/>http://fitfabulousforty.blogspot.com/Dorishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15169624272113926299noreply@blogger.com
