“Learn to say no to the good so you can say yes to the best”
— John C. Maxwell
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, you have to turn down good opportunities so you can take advantage of the best ones. Imagine you love reading books and you only have a few hours every week to read. You see a book that looks interesting, but you also know there's another book everyone says is amazing and could change your life. If you spend your time reading the first book, you might miss out on the better one. In life, this means being careful with what you agree to do. If you're always saying yes to lots of different activities, you won’t have time for the ones that are the most important to you. Prioritize your goals and pick the things that will bring you closer to them. By being selective, you make sure your time and energy are focused on what truly matters. This approach helps you grow and achieve more significant results in the long run.
