Appreciate No

In a world of uncertainty, being told "no" can be one of the greatest gifts of your day. Hearing it allows you to know where you stand, regroup, and try again.

Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil. 
- Jesus |  Matthew 5:37

The answer doesn't always have to be yes, but if you are scared to get to "no," you will rarely get to "yes."
