　　ladies and gentlemen.

　　i'd like to welcome everyone.

　　i'm here to teach you how to say no.

　　i use to be a "yes person."

　　i thought it was impolite to say no.

　　i was a chronic "people-pleaser."

　　let me tell you now what i learned.

　　first,you must face reality.

　　you can't say yes to every request!
