Much of society has been trained that a "no" 
signals rejection and, as a result, should 
be avoided.

2
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:20,700
What they don’t realize is that saying, "No" 
is much more than a denial of something you 
want.

3
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,800
Every "no" equates to a "yes" to something 
else.

4
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:31,800
A "no" from a potential employer gives you 
the ability to say, "Yes" to a new opportunity.

5
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:36,700
A "no" to alcohol is a "yes" to family, safety, 
and health.

00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,900
Steve Jobs put it this way:

7
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,600
“It’s only by saying 'no' that you can concentrate 
on the things that are really important.”

8
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:51,000
So today I challenge you to remember: Every 
"no" can equal a better "yes."
