“Tone is the hardest part of saying no.” ― Jonathan Price

So, yes, if we have a better tone, we might be able to say No more positively, more appropriately.

But no, we can’t always be positive when it’s time to be negative! And we can’t take full responsibility for how people take our saying No when necessary; only personal accountability for their benefits and consequences in our own lives.

Say No when needed, and confidently.

“Real freedom is saying 'no' without giving a reason.”  ― Amit Kalantri
