It's about YES!!!

Tonight, I just finish went out with my friends. We watched a movie called YES MAN!!! starred by Jim Carrey. This movie is a tale about a man that always say no to all possibilities in his life. He said no everytime his friends asking him to go out, his neighbour asking for help, or people in the street offering him something. His life changes when he follows a YES seminar, where YES is the new NO. He must say YES to everything that comes to him, whether he wants it or not and live with the consequences. It turns out that his life has turned upside down. He changes from a boring straight guy to a passionate spontaneous one. It's really good movie which I really recommend because it's so funny. I have a hard time not to laugh while watching this movie.




While watching this movie, I remember something about this yes thing. I read somewhere in a book that as a person, you must have a yes mentality. That doesn't necessarily means that you must always say "yes" to everything that comes to you. But be someone that is more spontaneous, try new things. If you don't like it than don't do it anymore. Live is only once and it's worth a living.
If you don't believe me that yes mentality is useful for you, I have a small exercise for you. You can try to close your eyes and say "no" for 10 times now in your heart. Now compare with you saying "yes" for 10 times in your heart. There must be a difference between those two, and you know which one feels better ;)
So What I want to say is, be a YES man!! embrace the future, embrace the opportunity. You don't know what waits you in the end, so it might better to take the chance.
