Be Yourself

You can never please everybody, even if you try.There will always be times when you are compelled to say NO to somebody even when it hurts. So many people are in difficult situations today because they refused to act when it mattered most. For instance a friend tries to introduce a business to you which you feel uncomfortable with, what do you do? Politely say NO, no matter long or deep your friendship is. Many people are in prison today because of one bad influence they could not control. There are times you just have to "offend" even those you hold in high esteem by telling them the trust when you know they are wrong.Some people find it difficult to tell their bosses or even their parents and friends that they are wrong, even when they are sure, they see it as a sign of respect. At the end when things go wrong, they become bitter towards the same people they refused to correct. Self- denial often leads to regrets, make your point politely but firmly, do not be afraid even if the other person is offended; most proud people or those who think they are better than you will always take offense when you correct them. The bottom line is, let the right things be done whether in the home, family, office, school, business, relationships etc. Be yourself, if you try to please everybody, you will end up pleasing nobody.
