Dear Readers,
Thank you for coming here!
I made a decision today that made me feel uncomfortable.
- It was against my preference— I really need to stretch myself to help, given the current workload I am facing.
- It was against my belief — I once wrote in this blog that we should not do things so that people will like us. We should do things that actually add value. One criteria is that we will say “No” to ourselves when saying “Yes” to others. I clearly went against this rule.
- I did not like the interactions — I felt the other party always had the upper hand in the interactions, even though the power to say “No” was with me. I just gave that power up.
- I did not like my re-actions — I did not reject, but I did not accept “smoothly” either. This is probably the worst case.
