Have a backbone, Stand up for your right

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 7, 2011 -- Say No, when you meant NO. But most of us are basically "Yes man" by nature. We are ever so obliged to support a friend in need, at grave expense of our ability and capability. When you looked at those who failed in businesses, you would usually find that these failure was likely resulted from an inability to say No.
Our desire to look good by others, usually resulted in a big expense for ourselves.

Friends and relatives come to us under various guises and seek support from us, which in our better judgment, we will rather not do; but our inability to grow a backbone and to utter the NO word, result in investment that yell "failure" from the start. Some invest, some stand as guarantor, some give up precious time, not because we want to, but because we are not able to reject, to say No. When friends defaulted in payment for a loan, or misused the fund you had granted him, the person that end up clearing the mess is none other than yourself.

Your ability to say No, to refrain from going with the crowd, and stand on your better judgment, mark the characteristic of a strong man. The one who can say No is going to succeed.

For a quick moment, he may feel ashamed of himself for rejecting the request, he will find it hard to withstand the criticism of his friends - all these feelings are but temporary and will fade away. Friends who criticize you for saying No to the things that are hurtful to you are unworthy of the friendship. You can very well move on without them. True friendship do not put the other party in difficult position.

The strength and courage to go with your convictions will eventually save you from financial burden, and will allow you more time for yourself and your loved ones. As you grow strong and do not hesitate to reject unwise request for help, you will begin to attain magnificent success by channeling your energy to a better cause, something that you chose for yourself and your love ones. Friendship is built on mutual goodwill and trust. If your friend is unable to view your stand from your viewpoint, and appreciate your inability to help, the value of that friendship is questionable.

So, exercise your backbone, your jaw bone, so that you can say No and stick to it without guilt and shame. Sometimes it is necessary to stick to your inner better judgement and not be tempted by peer pressure.
