How can we learn the value of saying no, if we didn’t occasionally say yes?

About This Quote

We all want to be liked by everyone so we say yes to things that are unnecessary. But what if you didn’t say yes to everything? Would you still be a happy person? No, of course not. But a person who is a bit stubborn and likes to say no will be a happier person because they don’t have to please everyone. They can make their own choices and live for themselves
