Yes and no................

 

Saying yes to one thing is always saying no to something else. The cost of a bad yes isn't just the time it takes. It's whatever could have grown in that space instead.

The point isn't to say no to everything, but simply to recognize the difference between a good yes and a bad yes. Then, try to improve the ratio in your life.

-James Clear, from this edition

On saying "Yes"....................

“I’ve never really done anything to create what has happened. It creates itself. I’m here because it happened. But I didn’t do anything to make it happen apart from saying ‘Yes’” 

-Ringo Starr

On matters of principle...............

...........................................and the refusal to compromise.

Shining like a clean skillet................

Yes and No............................

“Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough.” 
-Josh Billings
