Courage is what will cost to say “NO”

This article is not about saying NO but an art everyone need to build for oneself

Let us not misunderstand, I am writing in favor of people who show attitude. May be it sounds like an Attitude issue but when you deeply think Saying NO is a reflection of courage and the confidence that one built for oneself.

The most successful person of the decade Infosys Narayan Moorthy says he is so successful only because he said NO for GE project. I very well know this is not so easy in the corporate world where your growth is defined in such a way that you have to accept new things to grow.

The below are the three characteristics that is very important to say NO

Self-Positioning: The most important thing in anybody’s life is ambition (or) what you want to become? If you are really clear with your ambition, then it is about learning and adapting to new environment as you climb the ladder.

Self-Evaluation: Whenever you grow, you need to make sure you do justice to your growth. So self-evaluation is like a pit stop, one must stop to evaluate how much one has learnt. This will help you in positioning yourself.

Self-Rating: This particular exercise builds a tremendous courage and confidence in you. Most philosophies say the best person to judge you is yourself. This rating exercise will help you in evaluation and positioning

The above three clearly show who you are to yourself, if you fail, you always tend to accept things and become comfortable with what you get but if you pass, this character becomes a charisma in you. I was surprised to see people accepting this and appreciating them for being bold and confident.
