What do we know about the word NO? There are 3 important things

1) All the languages have a word which means NO

2) They are a pair of two consecutive alphabets which are continuous in the alphabets series

3) The most important one. NO is not just a word

When do people say NO?

But before that, NOs can be broadly classified into two

1) Others NO to u

2) Your NO to others

NO is a denial, to put it more diplomatically, the inability to say yes.

I am sure everybody reading this would have heard NO atleast once in their life time so far (if not please go back hear some NOs and come). The big question is, does all these NOs hurt us? NO, they don’t… see it dint rite, that’s what I am trying to say.

Ok let’s imagine a few cases where a person would have probably heard NO. Others NO to U

NO FROM A STRANGER:

You are going to a competition, to a new place and you don’t know the proper location OF the venue, you meet a stranger on the road ask him for the direction and he bluntly says NO. Does that hurt u? Not really… now u find a YES saying stranger, find the place and reach the competition venue, u performed your best, u are happy ( even though u already heard a NO). When the results are announced, for the second time u hear a NO, again from a stranger… but does that feel the same... NO.

NO FROM THE CLOSED LOVED ONES… it always hurts… but the question here is FOR HOW LONG?

U go to your dad ask him for an expensive watch… your dad bluntly says NO (blunter than the stranger one), we do feel bad but for how long, till he gets u an equally impressive watch or till he sits down with u, with your favorite ice cream on your hand and he explains to u…

now u wear this impressive watch that your dad bought for u… wear your best clothes… go to your girl/boy and say I AM TRULY MADLY DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH U… and they say I don’t like your watch, NO… shattered to pieces.. Wearing your favorite watch does not matter anymore…

NO happens. Without NO nothing happens…

Coming into YOUR NO TO OTHERS, we should at times be sure about what we want/can and know when to say NO.

Believe me this is very difficult and confusing

A conversation between me and my friend:

Friend: I should probably learn to say NO. It’s high time

Me: ya dude

F: ya? May be u should also learn to say NO cos u jus said YA

M: NO, because … blah blah…

F: hey cool man u jus learned to say NO

M: ok cool… but should I say a YES or NO for this???

ACTUALLY WHEN DO PEOPLE SAY NO????? BIG QUESTION… NO SINGLE ANSWER…

a conclusion for NO?? not possible
