Never Say No

Posted by Ramya Shankar on Monday, March 26, 2007 in ,
Are you someone who initializes a conversation ? Are you someone who takes an initiative and leads a bandwagon ? Are you someone who never (infrequently) answers in the negative ? If you answered the previous questions in affirmative, then congratulations- you're the never-say-no attitude possessor ! Kudos to you !
Well, you might think what big deal does it make really ? But then, these are the little insignificant things in life that can turn you into a significant person for someone else. Of course, we all don't have to be Mother Teresa's !
How would you feel if a person kept answering - "No", "I don't know" or began every retort contradicting your view ? A normal human definitely wouldn't feel like pursuing the conversation further, would they ?

Flip side : The pessimist could always return with an argument stating his right to talk whatever he wishes to and meanwhile expressing his dislike towards you. Point taken, but then if there were no such differences of opinions, there would be no poles, no opposites, no good, no bad ! You wouldn't have lost anything, but life is counted with what you gain, and I consider people as the biggest assets one could possess.
In case you (irrespective of where you are classified) understood, you would have done something to better yourself. If you just didn't give a damn about this post, feel free to click that little red X on the top
right, well if you have something to add/contradict, the comment box is all yours!

intha chinna vayasula ivlo periya thathuvaa gnaaniyaa epdi irukka rumz?? :p

but yeah, I fall into the category!! I can rarely say 'NO' to anything :-)


er-say-no' category... or rather.. was someone who fell under it for a looooong time now! I have changed. You know why? Cos ppl tend to take you for granted... you become a people-pleaser and to put it in simpler, more clear terms- an iluchavaay!!!

You NEED to say 'No' to a few things. I always believe in one thing-" Be selfish! Do things ONLY when you genuinely feel like doing things- for yourself or others! Never do anything out of compulsion. Never do anything JUST to please someone."

Well... that was my tuppence! :D

Or rendanna rather! :P


BLOGGER Ate up the begoinning of my comment! :P Lol!!!

here goes...

I beg to differ!
I am someone who belongs to the "never-say-no category"...or..

... and there.. go read the top bit! :P


Are you someone who never (infrequently) answers in the negative
- As a human being we have both positive and negative enrgy'. We say when we really want to by not hurting others.

How would you feel if a person kept answering - "No", "I don't know
- You cannot trust them, coz they do not believe in themselves.


Nice post...

Yea i guess it is hard to say No to ppl, even if they are new to us. Mebbe that's how we are brought up!


so u say kudos to me!


I second Sandhya.Do something only if YOU absolutely want to!


nice thought provoking post, but ultimate ah nee enna solla vanthennu than puriale :D

btw...why adopting this marketing ad kindaa start..have u ever done this have u ever felt this appadinu?


Small Wall,
Adhellam ungal aasirwaadham! :D

Sandhya,
Rendanna pocketed ! We discussed this and I totally agree, but man is a social animal, we have got to encounter such people. At times(not always) it is necessary to adapt to such situations!


Priya,
True, but the positive has to win over the negative! You're an optimist if u have more of the positive vibes!
And as for the latter, bingo, or someone who is unwilling to help!

Shiv,
Danke! Yes, but then if you do it once, it becomes a part of your pseudo-identity thereby expecting the same out of you every time.


Sophie,
Kudos ! :D

Hams,
Honest! But then the question -"Do for who?" comes before the actual doing

RS,
Call it what you want ! I call it interaction with the readers ! :D


Good Post!!
me the belongs to tht "never-say-no" category..
But at times, I feel like saying No to someone, but can't bring myself to say tht!! Hurt pannidumo nu bayathula :(


well, NO one is expecting (almost)everyone to say 'Yes' all the time.

Trick is to know --What to say No to and How to say No..do you think?
