When I was five I heard the word No for the first time from my Mother. The little rebel in me said to myself I can’t wait to grow up, to be taken seriously, to be treated equally, change myself completely. So that I won’t have to take No for an answer. When I was fifteen I heard the word No from my crush. The hopeless romantic in me said to myself I can’t wait to grow up, get a job, make a career, change my life completely. So that I won’t have to take No for an answer. When I was twenty five I heard the word No from my boss. The dreamer in me said to myself may be I should move on, settle down, change my life completely. So that I won’t have to take No for an answer. When I was thirty five I heard the word No from my kids. I took a pause and said No back to them for the first time. Wow, did it feel good. May be I should say No more often. And my life has never been the same ever since.

“No - is a very powerful word. The sooner you practice to say that out in your life, the better it is. Your life will turn around to be great.” Based on a conversation, with a friend's mother.
