Are you the type of person who always says “yes”？I've come to learn that it is very important to learn to say “no”．It's okay.People are still going to like you.They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.

I'm not saying to say “no” to someone who really needs your help.I'm talking about turning down that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don't want to be a guest at.

Think for a moment how you feel when you say “yes” to something that you really don't want to do.If you're like I once was，you can't sleep at night and you think about it too much.It weighs on your mind.You try to find ways out.Whatever you're saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldn't have all of these thoughts.

So，why not just say “no” from the beginning？Maybe you feel like if you don't show up at the meeting (by the way，it is not one you must attend)，your boss isn't going to like you or your coworkers won't respect you.Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters won't love you as much if you don't do everything for them what they ask every occasion.

If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what.People treat you the way you teach them to，and if you're someone who always says “yes”，then that's what they're expecting.

        You need to do what is right for you.Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.

Redenvelopes {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(relate) to the Chinese Lunar New Year for long. I myself havehad plenty of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(experience) both receiving and giving out red envelopes inthe past, and generally speaking, it's been fun. I mean，who doesn't love free money?

 I'm truly surprised by the extent of people'sobsession with virtual red envelopes this year. In fact, everyone I know spentat least a day or two {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(crazy) shaking their smart phones，mostly trying to get as much lucky money as possible. Thanksto messaging app giant WeChat's new feature {#blank#}4{#/blank#} allows users to send moneyelectronically, grabbing virtual red envelopes has never seemed so easy.

 Just in case you are one of the very fewpeople still not on the bandwagon, here's {#blank#}5{#/blank#} it works. Givers link theirWeChat to their bank accounts, and then they can send specified amounts ofmoney to their WeChat contacts through a personal message. They can also putthe cash up {#blank#}6{#/blank#} grabs in chat groups full of friends, and anyone who acts fastenough will get {#blank#}7{#/blank#} share. Later，receiverscan transfer the funds from their WeChat back into their own bank accounts.

 In theory，thissounds like a fun game. I'm always for some harmless fun in life, so my naturalresponse would be：Why not? Moreover,I've always believed that it's human nature to want free stuff, regardless ofwhether you actually need it or not. This may not be a good quality, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it'snot against the law, so I won't get all judgmental here. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(consider) thesereasons, I really can't fault anyone for their enthusiasm in grabbing virtualred envelopes. I would have done it too, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I not thought linking WeChat tomy bank accounts was too much trouble.
