The Art of Saying No
THE ART OF SAYING NO
Nice person, Since you came, you must have a weakness like not being able to say no. Relax.
We will overcome this problem. If you don’t want to go to the cinema to avoid breaking the heart, because if you say no, you can break your relationship or feel selfish. Don’t feel! You are not an ice cream. You can’t make everyone happy and you don’t have to. Let’s say to him/her , she/he comes, no need to ask if she/he accepts it for sure. people don’t feel your emotion.

We have the ability to swim, and we are also close enough to save her life if we take action immediately. However, doing so will ruin our expensive shoes. Do we still have an obligation to save her?
