Learning to Say

Learning to say No is one thing that many of my friends advice me, at almost all times. This is one thing that I am trying to but I am not able to do it!

I accept work only if I am able to do it, and of course, I face a lot of difficulty from personal time i.e. the so called Work-Life balance. I feel like I don't have that second half of it. The life part. But the solution is to learn to say NO. I know that that is the solution.

Can I ask someone to teach me how to say a NO? What if they start practicing it right then?

I recently took up an additional responsibility of managing a project, that makes me a Project manager, the only one in the world that will work for that kind of high pressure work for a token payment of 5.12 L INR per annum.

I am learning many things day by day, I can see all colours of people. They are like, you are the manager, so it is your work, not mine, you cook the rice, you make sambhar, you make the curry and you mix them and put it in a bowl, and spoon feed me, only then I will eat, at the same time crib saying that the manager is worthless.

I remember me doing a similar thing like 6 years before, when I was new to the company, but eventually I dint do it, why is it coming to me now? The solution is to intimidate them of being a manager. Never talk to them in a friendly way, after all they do not expect that. All they will ever say is that I don't get paid.

Man this calls for another post in itself. The next one probably.
