A quotation from Judith Martin

Part of the skill of saying no is to shut up afterward and not babble on, offering material for an argument.

Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
“Miss Manners,” syndicated column (2014-11-04)

Let’s talk about defiance, because it has never been more relevant: “…defiance isn’t a fixed trait that some people are born with and others lack. It’s a practice: a skill you can strengthen over time. Some days you might comply, other days you might resist. What matters is that you have the awareness and the tools to make the choice consciously, rather than letting fear or habit decide for you.” #psychology #behavior #WhenToSayNo #SayingNo #empowerment #resist #rebel #refuse
