Say Yes to 3 As and No to Cs
Life is full of doing and rejecting something. Doing something in life is not final and failure by noting doing anything or rejecting something is not fatal. It is definitely a continued process. How difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
Always say Yes to three As – Accept, Adjust and Appreciate. By accepting something which is beneficial to you, you stand committed to passing it on to others who too will accept it gladly. We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
We should also try to adjust ourselves according to the circumstances. Fighting with the situation is a real life and committing suicide is cowardliness.
We too need to appreciate the things to encourage others and courtesy also demands that if someone has done well, he must be recognized with appreciation.
Saying to No to someone boldly shows straightforwardness but helpful at the later stage. We should say No to Cs – criticize, condemn or complain.
We should not criticize without any logic in hand. In fact, criticism is an indirect form of self-boasting. In other words, it is a weakness to get caught up in the controversy by criticizing someone. One should work hard and don’t give up hope and we should be open to criticism and keep learning. But don’t criticize, what you can understand.
Condemn is another form of criticism. We should not forget that if there is something to pardon in everything, there is also something to condemn. But it is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one.
So far as a complaint is concerned, it is a sort of feedback but never complain if it is not a good feedback and simply for the sake of feedback. There are times in life when instead of complaining, you do something about your complaints otherwise it is a sheer wastage of time.
Frankly speaking, life is a privilege but full of challenges at every step. To keep balance in life, we have to use Yes and No judiciously to certain things, at the appropriate time. So, by saying Yes to Accept, Adjust and Appreciate and saying No to Criticize, Condemn and Complaint, we live a better, happy and prosperous life not for ourselves but for others also.
Over to you to Say Yes or No in your life.
