Hi Deepali
Thanks for sharing.I would like to add that the first step to learning tosay NO is to determine one's communication style.That needs self awareness.
Most often we fail to say NO because we have been conditioned to believe that it is not right to say NO or that we should not hurt anyone.
But we can say NO by changing our communication style.We don't have to shout or be aggressive. We need to pracitice Assertive Communication and speak from our heart.
Having said that we also need to accept the fact that it is not possible to please all with our decision. No matter what there will be some who will like you for what you are while some will not like you with the best of your efforts.
Life has to move on. EVERYDAY IS A NEW DAY......Today is a beautiful day

Hi,
I truly believe in saying NO at required times but then people who don't know me well term me as snob and sarcastic. But still it doesn't shake my confidence a wee bit because i know why i did it and for whom-MYSELF. Many times i say YES others but SOMETIMES i gotta say NO for myself and i think its fair enough!

Well the post says 8 ways to say no..... which it is not..... it is just why u should say no.....
But.. yes.... this is good. Every person must be given the space and freedom to say no.... that too depends on the situation the other person is in...... but never do things that you dont want to do.....
If every one starts practicing it... then i'm sure that the world will be a better place....

Hi Jeev,
Frankly speaking i am not find of cars.
Sorry, won't be able to reply to your queries.

Hi Andrew,
We are Indians and We follow Indian culture too. And its our right to say no for what we don't like. Moreover as far as America is concerned, its growth is in our hand. 70% of doctors, engineers (specially software) and teachers are Indian in America.
Be proud to be an Indian.
