Understand the meaning of Yes or No…

With the digitization and popularity of social media, both – long
messages and response – are not appreciated. Everyone is so busy in this
new digital world, that hardly anyone finds a time to go through the
whole contents of the touch screen devices and fast-moving fingers
could be seen with exciting nature of the holder.
The origin of short words is perhaps from the vowels are being omitted
based on the theory of Pitman’s language of shorthand, which is based
on writing words on, above and crossing the lines.
Similarly, the Yes or No are the most popularly used word to convey
your consent or answering the questions. The answer to those questions
that expect only ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer, these questions do not take the
question words when what where etc. Sometimes, these are used to
check information or ask for confirmation.
Are you coming with us? Yes.
In fact, to say Yes or No, we need not repeat the complete question. But
sometimes, the more authentic confirmation is to say Yes, I
am. Similarly, Are you going to see a movie today? No, I am not.
So far as Yes is concerned, we should find a way to say yes to things like
an invitation, to meet new friends, to learn something new. In fact, yes
is how you get your first job and your next job and your spouse and even
your kids. Even if it is a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying
yes means that will do something new, meet someone new and make a
difference.
In other words, yes lets you stand in a crowd, be the optimist, in other
words, see the glass-filled portion rather than an empty part. Yes is what
keeps you us all young.

Richard Branson said, “If someone offers you an amazing opportunity
and you are not sure you can do it, say yes instead of no. They learn
how to do it later.
Yes, has magic within it. So often we are afraid of life, we fear failure,
we anticipate the words, we don’t know what to expect. In doing so and
often by saying ‘no’ to opportunities, we reject many of life’s bright
chances.
No doubt, by saying yes, we often need to say no to others. We should
not be a ‘yes person’ or feel pressured to do things we don’t want to
do. It is about having the courage and conviction to do the things we
know we really want to do. If you don’t say yes, you block the miracle
whereas it leads to more doors and no is closing the door. Yes, attracts
positivity. When we say yes, we do more, create more and live more.
I recollect an incident of my life when my saying ‘Yes’ to opt for a
character of Postman in one of the theatre performances with an entry of
only two minutes encouraged me to say ‘No’ to small roles on getting
recognition in a small role.
Frankly speaking, life is long if nothing specific adverse happens in our
life and sometimes it is short if we die young. Then terming life as
short, we must say ‘why not’ instead of ‘why’. Most of the things we
miss in life are because of saying No too early and Yes too late. Yes and
No are very short words to say but we should think for some length of
time before saying them. The art of leadership is in saying no, not saying
yes. Learn to say ‘No’ to the good so you can say ‘Yes’ to best.
