> Saying yes is easy, saying no hard. But to focus on what’s important, you must learn how to say no.

This is so true. I still struggle telling people no. I'm a coward and just got really good at not saying yes. Lots of "maybe" and lots of "if" (usually impossible conditionals).

"Hey umvi, I have a great app idea, we should partner up."

"Yeah maybe, if I can finish up my current project!"

This is a tough one, but with practice, it gets so much easier... I promise. I used to really struggle with it. Give it a shot in easier circumstances and see how you go! Baby steps - good luck!

I get jeered for doing this. :(

That's the world we live in... but I'd do it anyway... or even when there's no one else around :)
