我們都被教導說，我們應該要幫助別人。這是應該做的事，而且這樣做會使我們受人歡迎。它甚至會為我們贏得一些回報。但是，我們必須要實際一點。我們不能答應每一個要求。如果我們這么做，我們就一定會失敗或發(fā)瘋。有時候我們確實沒有時間去幫忙。既然如此，我們就必須知道如何有禮貌地說不。當我們需要說不的時候，有個辦法我們可以試試。首先，我們應該要說實話。假如我們真的辦不到某件事，我們就應該說不。第二，我們應該記得要客氣地拒絕對方的要求。我們必須清楚地表達，但態(tài)度也必須真誠并且表示同情。一個真正的朋友會諒解的。最后，我們不必為了說不而覺得有罪惡感。有時候拒絕別人才是我們應該做的事。它可以替我們自己和別人，都省下許多麻煩?？偠灾?，我們無法一直取悅每個人。拒絕請求是人生的一部分。I

:我重樹信心大學生活的幾年里，當我參加第一次面試時，我的自信心受到了沉重的打擊。我向“學生劇團”申請出演一個主角，而且我十分自信地認為我會被錄用。但是,其中有個劇團成員告訴我:“你似乎不太合適出演這個角色，因為你的身高有點問題。”我從未遇到過這種情況。我穿著高跟鞋來彌補我的身高，采用心理策略和技巧來掩蓋自己信心的缺乏。但是，不論我怎樣努力進入角色，感覺還是缺少些什么。作為英語俱樂部的主席，我為英語晚會組織排演了《白雪公主》短劇。不幸的是，我們找不到合適的人選出演最后一個小矮人。這個角色必須生性幽默，英語流利。突然，所有人的目光都轉(zhuǎn)向了我，我知道那個小矮人就是我了。讓我極度奇怪而又高興的是，一上臺，我完全投入到演出中，而且我那幽默的天性被發(fā)揮得淋漓盡致。作為一個‘’小矮人”，我取得了巨大的成功。的確，我們中的任何一個人都是千百萬中的一員，但我們中的每個人都是一個與眾不同的個體。發(fā)揮我們自己的個性會改變我們的生活，使它們成為美麗的萬花筒。失去了多樣性的世界是個冷漠、乏味的地方。真正的悲劇不是個矮、害羞或丑陋，而是將自己的個性迷失在一個克隆的世界里，那里到處都是典型的酷男孩或無瑕、迷人的好姑娘。如果讓我選擇，我寧可面貌五陋，也不愿生活在這樣一個世界里。我寧可做一個伴隨“白雪公主”的真實的小矮人，也不愿做“白雪公主”世界里的一個白雪公主，而隨波逐流。我寧可作為一個真實的自我而出現(xiàn)。我愿將自己獨特的、與眾不同的色彩奉獻給多姿多彩的世界?！白咦约旱穆?，讓別人去說吧!”Enjoy
