The word NO is a command word of safety. Yes, saying No is very important in terms of security that is why, the word is very common to be used by people. A typical example is the traffic light. Once you drive a car to the point of traffic and the traffic light indicated a red❌ color, you cannot drive and beat off the light.

Now, you stopping the car because of the red indicating, you're probably saving your life. The red ❌ color in the above example stands for no. As it is a command, we find ourselves making use of this word. In the family, parents are likely to used no on their children, such as, no ice cream today but food. Does this mean the parents are selfish? No! It is for the safety of those children.

In our various work place, we find ourselves using the no word with our colleagues. The word can be freely used to gain respect too.

Another safety example is the steemit platform. I guess you will want to know how the word no safe as a safety in steemit platform. For instance, No used of AI, Bot or involved in any plagiarism. No used here becomes a command of safety to all the participate because if you don't follow the command giving, your entry will be counted as invalid and you will be tack as plagiarist.

Aside of no been a safety word, it is also a sign of right to freedom. As a grown up lady, I have a right to say no on my parents decision. This might not mean their decision is not good, no, I know what is best for me by this time, saying No to their decision will not make me to be a selfish child.

The freedom giving to me by my parents at this point is my priority and that's will make me very happy. In essence to all my illustration, it is very necessary to say No when it's called for a No answer because putting yourself first is always a best decision to take.

Learn to Say No, it is for you own good.

  Steem on and shine!
