Chapter 8 - LEARN TO SAY NO

Dear friend, the problem you have is not lack of time but lack of direction. The people who fail in life do not plan to fail. The problems is that they don't plan anything. Most people confuse activity with accomplishment. To get the best of time you must learn to set clearly defined goals and object. You must identify what will help you accomplish these objectives and you must learn to priorities, – that is arrange in order of importance. Whatever you want to do, there's always something you have to do first. Don't get your values mixed up. Learn to distinguish between what's important and what's trivial. You must differentiate between opportunities and distractions. Never spend major time on minor projects. Qualify those who enter into your life. Some people are not worth a second of your precious time. The people who made it in life don't have more time than you. They simply learnt how to say no. Discipline is the gate valve of success. Learn to say no, that's the greatest weapon you have to preserve your life and destiny. If you are not selective, you can never be effective and efficient. Permitting everything and everyone to have access to your time and mind is an invitation to chaise and struggles. Say No to endless watching of TV. Say No to procrastination, say No to wasteful spending of both time and money, say No to laziness, say No to indiscipline, say No to temporary pleasure, say No to the devil and everything that limits you. The best time management tool is the word No. Those who succeed don't have more time than you. They simply discovered the secret of saying No, to trivial and unimportant things. A tool is anything you use to help you achieve your goal. No is a tool that you can use to your advantage if you must succeed in life, you must learn to say No. It is time to take charge of your life, so you can reach your destiny in style. Learn to say No.
