I wanted to say “No” I believe there has been ample cases for everyone where we wanted to say ‘No” but ultimately said “Yes”
It happens to all of us, and in so many circumstances. Just sit back and think ‘when was the last time it happened to you?’ I believe you can remember quite a few cases where you had really wanted to say, but have come back by saying yes. You have maybe nodded your head or mumbled it out with a little (sad?) smile on your lips. And then…well it surely didn’t make you feel better …did it?
Such cases are bound to happen to lot of us. Why do we say so? Is it because we are afraid to say “NOOOOOOOOOO!!” Well maybe in some cases, but not in most, I guess.
The main reason to say “yes” even when I dislike the idea or do not adhere to what it supposed to mean can come from a variety of other circumstances.
1. Because of peer pressure. Maybe the Manager or your boss has convened a meeting in order to present a new proposition for the company…or a new sales target. And in doing so, he or she needs to access how it is getting received from your end. SO ultimately the boss asks for your opinion…and you say “Yes…”
2 Situation can arise within your fraternity when someone asks yo to provide some help…..maybe monetarily or otherwise. And you do no think it a wise venture or have some pre-decided schedule which doesn’t allow you to fraternize with this idea. But you ultimately said …”yes”.
3 It can happen within your family when your wife or brother wants you to accompany her/him for some activity and you had some prior plans or appointments which you is more important to you, but you ultimately said “Yes”.
Why did you accept? Why did you say “yes”. Why was it that you could not say what you really wanted to??
Can we have some other thoughts on this?
