My fifth question


I am one of the people who find it hard to say “No” to a request or turn down a favor from a

friend or colleague. Normally, though I am aware how full my schedule is or how difficult it would

be to do something I am asked to, I usually end up saying “Yes,” although my mind says “No.”

How about you ?

Hi.
Everyone fears me because I say "No" very well. I always do as my mind goes. I don't care about everyone's thinking. I live very freely. I think you will have a very hard time every day. But you will have many friends because of your kindness. Here is my advice: Live as you think.

Though I was like you in the past, but now I try to be more realistic for both those who request and myself. So I think I should be more careful to make good and wise decisions.

Hi Derek,

I used to have the same problem as you but these days I've goten so busy that I have no choice. Oprah did a show about saying 'no' to save yourself and I followed her advice.

Hi, Deret!
You are so nice. We Koreans think that it is not polite to say no to a request for help. But I think that sometimes no makes a difference. I myself get some request from my co-teacher. If I can handle with it, I say yes willingly. But I don't hesitate to say no when I am not able to do it. I believe that saying no to his face helps him to get another help soon.
