1.  The desire to be well thought of makes people reluctant to say no to anyone regarding anything. We should cultivate an ability to say no to activities for which we have no time, no talent, and in which we have no interest or real concerns. If we learn to say no to many things, then we will be able to say yes to things that matter most.
