How Often Do We Say YES when we want to say NO!!!

So often it happens you want to say no but for some reason end up saying yes..or start with a no and end up with a yes!!

Is NO a complete sentence in itself or is the begining of a negotiation?

How often do we buckle under the weight of NO..it's so heavy but many a times it needs to be thrown out..

READ MY LIPS - WHEN I SAY NO I MEAN NO!!!

No Longer "JUST"

How often we describe ourseleves starting with "JUST"...just a housewife, just a teacher, just a mother, just a student...
What does this "just" denote? Low Self Esteem, Low Confidence, not enough love for one's own self.....
So the need is to get out of the "just"
A new mantra - Can do without the "just"

Taking a BUS???????? TIMES ARE CHANGING

Why is it that taking a bus in the bay area ( or for that matter most of America) such a big deal. People actually feel sorry for you!!
But now with gas going up I see most of the seats in my bus taken. Infact at times there are people staing!!
There were times ( and not too long ago) when I was alone or with just 3-4 passengers in the bus.All way from Santa Clara to Fremont
But now times are changing!! And thankfully now when i am standing at the bus stop people dont look at me with as much pity as they used to!!! :)
