It's better to becareful and say no

Sometimes "initially" saying "no" or "wait as I have to assess" is much more better than saying "yes" straight away. Why? Because it is careful, gives you time to assess what is going on and take make proper decision. There is also a sense of control, to make better and repsonsible decisions. It is just like having a security lock on your door, so you can monitor who is safe to come in and who to reject. There is pretty much what naturally intelligent people do.

It is more easier to start from no to yes, than yes to no. From from yes to no is rather like building expectation and remove it which can be rather harsh, but nevertheless, somethings must be made clear. On the other hand, starting from no to yes maybe harsh to begin with but at least it doesn't leave false expectations.

There is this idea where one should venture into the world and do everything and experience everything and not to be a party pooper. From my point of view, this is a ridiculous, childish and childish approach to life. Some things in life shouldn't be risked otherwise one would have to pay greatly. We can use our intelligence to know what it is like. It doesn't require touching the sun to know it is hot. It doesn't require shooting ourselves to know that it'll kill us. One shouldn't sell their bodies just to experience losing virginity, thereby to ruin their history and chance of being with a partner looking for someone physically pure. The so called, "you must experience everything" is just a childish and immature mentality.

Don't be affraid of saying "no" even under pressure, because it will only show that you are not a "puppet" "undercontrol" by others and peer pressure, and that you are "strong" to stand your ground, thereby gaining "respect" for having "your own mind". Do not be weak by letting your own arrogance control you by saying yes to prove a point when it is really not what you want. It only shows you are a weak puppet desperate to be accepted and approved of them.

Children can afford to make mistakes, but adult should not. Being an adult where your actions and decisions determines the fate of others, requires great responsibility and leadership. Be careful, and know when to say no, when to turn from a dangerous path (knowing that you must shallow your pride for the best) differentiate a mature person from an immature person.
