Greetings dearies

Do you always find it hard to say NO to people's request?

The fact about life is one. Request is an honourable way of demanding or seeking for something that means alot to an individual. As far as the whole thing is in the context of "request" I do not always find it hard to say no because people will always be in need of one thing or the order and I am not exceptional. I go to people to seek or request for one or two things so it's normal and I don't find it hard to say no except I do not have what the person is requesting at the moment.

Mention reasons why people find it difficult to say NO?

  • People find it very difficult to say No because humanly speaking, everyone is always in need except for people who are wealthy.
  • It is difficult to say no because at that point, lives can be saved.
  • Difficulty in saying no attracts blessings because when you help at some point, blessings follows.

What was that experience that taught you to say NO?

You can never please human in this life so most of the taught of saying No comes when an individual thinks of an experience that has happened with him before.

A friend came to me for help, he requested for 11,000 naira which is steem equivalent to 36.6 steem. At that point, it wasn't my money but I had to just give to him as he promised to pay back at a specified period of time. Surprisingly, he never caughed till date about that money, I had to pay that money from my pulse and it's annoying.

What is your advice for those who still struggles to give NO as an answer?

My advice is simple! Learn to always give yes for an answer if you are in the right position to render help. Avoid No! for an answer when you have it, saying no while you are at the right position to help might lead to the death or loss of the person that needed help.

I do not really blame people who struggles to give no for an answer because they must have passed through one experience or the order. Experience they said is the best teacher and there is no doubt about that. Success everyone and I invite my friends to join the contest @josepha @ashley-p and @ishayachris

No, always bitter, but our lives are tranquil. We do not need to please others; instead, we must just do the right thing. The majority may be in opposition, but if the facts are right, say No without fear. Best of luck.

Thank you friend l, I appreciate your comments.

Experience sometimes might not be the best teacher especially when we learned our lesson to ye hard way. What is we die or crumble during the process..? Sometime we human finds ourselves saying yes to certain demands or requests even when we feel uncomfortable. I think such lifestyle is not nice. Saying No is not bad. We should learn to say no to certain demands or requests if we truly care for ourselves. Thanks for sharing this and your experience as well.
