We’re on the same boat- I said NO to my boyfriend and he got someone else to ask. I considered that as a big mistake, but that NO made a better and stronger lady. Thanks to that two letter word!:)

That’s pretty funny Levente, but you raise a good question. What should be the outcome when a friend or lover cannot accept the word “no”?

The problem is that she “found someone else to ask”. :’(

So much for productivity (and will to live, for that matter).

Some “no practice”. What made it so clear is: “Turns out, if you say no, the one asking you will just go find someone else to ask.” At first, this may hurt our egos, but adult as we are, we should know how to handle it.

Thank you for sharing this story. Exactly what I needed today.

oops! I didn’t mean for my experiment to come across as advice. It was my story. Although if someone has a needy friend or relative, they might want to give it a try.

In work, I think it’s important to say “No” or “Not now” when there are more important things to do. For instance, if you are working to close a deal that would boost company earnings by 30% and the boss asks you to sharpen a case of pencils. Saying No would be a favor to you both.
