The Yes OR No dilemma

We are slaves to the people we love. They’ll ask something to be done and it gets done. Even if it means our project getting delayed. Of course, relations are much more important than our jobs, work, studies and it poses as a great excuse not to do what we are meant to do. Your friends ask you out for a movie and you can’t deny them. The reason not being you don’t want to disappoint them but you are more desperate to catch that flick. You’ve simply got few extremely lovable people to blame when asked about the incomplete work. You lie to yourself and convince your mind that it would break your friend’s heart and you’ll sacrifice your work for the same. But the real hidden truth is you just needed a good reason to back off your work and guess what you just got an amazing opportunity. Instead a person of good knowledge about both – his friends and work, would simply apologize for his inability to accompany them and will tell them he’ll be the first one to join the next time they hang out. If you are not wrong with choosing your friends, they’ll understand you. And in that case, you win. You keep that bond strong and get praised by your high-ers too. Happiness and money, what a satisfying combination. Of course there’d be much fun in that movie whose trailers and songs had amazed you but your time is far more important and knowing to do right things on the right time, I must say is a praise-worthy quality of everyone I admire. Everyone the world admires. Others are skipped a look, who are only sympathized over lost opportunities. So, choose your fates by overcoming the YES or NO dilemma. Yes to the ‘now’ boring things and No to the ‘now’ fun things. And you’ll yield a Yes to happiness and a No to regrets.
