Would U say NO!!

Personally, I live my life helping others. Ok, so every now and again, I might have to put something personal on the back burner for a while, but what's the biggy? I value and respect my family, my friends and even those I don't like too much, if their cause is a needy one. So, I will drop everything in an emergency, to fit them into my life programme. I hope that helps you, but time management is really the essence, and never to get too wound up about anything. It's just life, and life is for living the best way you can, and I am happiest when making others happy.

helping people is good karma, but not all times we can help especially if its on the financial type of helping..saying no is hard i think.. but we could still say that negative response if we know how to convey it..we should began first i think of saying "i really want to help you on your problem but" state what is your reasons , and its up to your friend if he is going to accept it.as long as you do your your part well...

its depend on the situation that what type of help is asked by the person

i am agree with u . no saying is proper for those persons they want to do for proper person. many time any one want that u dont want to give him and they are not able for this .

Sometimes it becomes difficult to say NO to some particular person!!

i'm the type of person who has difficulty saying no..especially to those who are very close to me. it's really hard to refuse. if the person asking for help is really in need..i'll do what i can to help him. but if i don't have anything to offer, then i'll just have to turn him down and try to tell him my reasons. i know it may somehow hurt him, but he'll understand.

For me if I can help I will. When I cant help I will tell them that I would love to help but I cant and explain why I cant, that way they understand why I cant help and there feelings are not hurt.

although i beleive we have to help others we have to draw a line somewhere.i dont beleive in being trampled upon

Well, sometimes we can't help everybody we are not superheroes. I guess sometimes when ew turn down a request it is impossible for people to um, waddya call that...um.. be offended or dissapointed to us, it happens and it's okay. ;)

i would surely help when a need comes.....

reading your material, my answer will be based on three assumptions. The need is legitimate, doesn't include professional beggars. You are in the position to help. You have the resources to extend a hand. By all means, go on my friend, help! Its true we are in a competitive world but it is also a duty of each of us in a civilized society to help those who are less fortunate. Helping others has also its rewards whether desired or not. You may have uplifted other people's lives in a little way and get a sense of fulfillment. For this reason, some people go to the extent of walking the extra mile in helping others. And who knows, you might be entertaining angels unaware. Of course, there are times when you may have to say no and again, they will be based on the three assumptions I mentioned earlier.

Helping someone is a good attitude but not to the point that the other person will mostly depend on you. Sometimes you really need to turn down.

its high time now and we should learn to say NO. Helping sumone is gud but not at the cost of yourself also this is a mean world and no one here helps you so why to help others....

I look at it like this - what goes around, comes around. If anyone asks for help, I help as much as I can, then when I need help you know where you can turn. There is a limit though depending on what your compromise is. If a friend asked me to borrow £5 and I had only £10 myself, I would give them £5! Then, if I needed to borrow money in the future I know where I can go. When you help others, I don't know about you guys but it makes me feel good about myself.

In friendship, there is no "NO.".. and the kind of situation you are talking about where there is an unhealthy competition, friendship usually ends. if you are friends, both of you will understand and try that the situation never arises.

Always remember the maxim Numero Uno is you , and you are the most important person in your life, if your ok the world is ok to you so help others if you have the time or say a flat No period

well in this world every individual has 2 main responsibilities, one is towards him and his fam... and other is towards society... both are important, i wont say to prefer one on other but help others to the extend that dosen't unfair with the ppl have more right over you... cheers :)

How do you draw the line? That's like the ultimate question. If we're completely self-absorbed and working on ourself and only ourself then we are selfish, but as we all know if you go out of your way to help others people will walk all over you, and you will not get your own business taken care of. I say have a plan--and continuously work on your own goals, but within the parameters of your plan always leave a little time for others, at least a little time. Something else to consider is a quote by Zig Ziglar: "You will get everything you want in life if you will just help enough other people get what they want."

I dont we have to be selfish. The word ME or I is the one responsible for our downfall...its nothing wrong to help someone esp when u know they really need ue help.

The best thing to do is do what your heart says. If you feel that what you are doing is right you should go ahead and do it. And if you think that what you are doing is wrong then dont do it.
