I don't regret saying NO, hello beautiful people of the Reach Out community. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Back to the topic of the day, which says the power of saying NO. Sometimes the most difficult decision to make is the ones where you say no.
Let me give you a little story. About a scenario that happened to me some years back that I say No to the offer and I don't regret doing that. So back then when I was in the university, I was at a point looking for extra means of survival, making money because life was somehow rough for me. So in the process of looking for a job or something to do that would fetch me money, I met someone through a friend I spoke with to help me get a job.
The person had a friend who told me that he has a job for me, like a job that could pay me a good amount of money, if I did it well in my first assignment, I could get half a million in just a week.hmm and you know back then as a student, money is always not enough. So first of all, I have to ask, what kind of job is that that can pay such a huge amount of money in a one-week assignment? Like half a million. Hmm 🤔, there must be a question mark. So I called him and told the guy, my friend, that I was reading for the job. Guess what the job is all about?? Drugs trafficking. He said I will transporting drugs from one state to the other. JESUS.
Me of all people—someone will look at me and offer me a drugs trafficking job. At that moment, I knew I had to say NO, not just for me, but for my reputation, my family, and my community at large. To me, having that kind of money will do me more than enough, but at the same time, I had to think of the sight effect in My life and future. So many questions went through my mind, at that point. One of the question I had then, was what if I get caught? How will my family look at me. at the end of the day. If I get caught, I will definitely go to prison. Knowing my family's reputation in my community, this is the number one thing I thought of before rejecting the offer. And the truth is I didn't regret saying no. My reputation and future are worth saying No. Thank you for reading through.
