LEARN TO SAY 'NO' GRACEFULLY
1. It is easy to say yes' to every request on your time, when the priorities
of your life are unclear. When your days are not guided by a rich and
inspiring vision for your future, a clear image of an end result that will help
you act more intentionally, it is not hard for the agendas of those around
you to dictate your actions. The solution is to be clear about your life's
highest objectives and then learn to say 'no' with grace. The Chinese sage
Chuang - tzu told the story of a man who forged swords for a Maharaja.
Even at the age of ninety, his work was carried out with exceptional
precision and ability. No matter how rushed he was, he never made even
the slightest slip. One day, the Maharaja asked the old man, “Is this a
natural talent or is there some special technique that you use to create
your remarkable results ?" "It is concentration on the essentials," replied
the sword-crafter. "I took to forging swords when I was twenty-one years
old. I did not care about anything else."
2. The most effective people concentrate on their "areas of excellence," i.e. on
the thing they do the best and on those high – impact activities that will
advance their life-work. In being so consumed by the important things,
they find it easy to say 'no' to their less-than-worthy distractions that
clamour for their attention. Michael Jordan, the best basketball player in
the game's history, did not negotiate his contracts, design his uniforms and
prepare his travel schedules. He focused his time and energies on what he
did best : playing basketball and delegated everything else to his handlers.
Jazz great Louis Armstrong did not spend his time selling tickets to his
shows and setting up chairs for the audience. He concentrated on his point
