The Polite No

Vishal Khandelwal · Oct 30, 2015 · Leave a Comment

A NO uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a YES merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.

Saying YES where you want to say NO is being dishonest to the person who you’re committing to.

A wiseman once said, “I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.”

Have the courage to say NO, politely and with respect.
