- Learn to say NO. Be yourself. How to start?
Say YES: when it is good for you or for someone you love, if you are ready to accept the sacrifice.
Say NO: whenever an external proposal denies your rights and always if the negative does not cause damage around you.
Keep in mind that sometimes damages are not real; you have to be quite critical on that respect.
