"你必须决定你最高的优先事项是什么,并且有勇气愉快地、微笑地、不抱歉地对其他事情说不。而实现这一点的方法是心中燃烧着一个更强烈的愿望。"

Simplified Meaning:

In life, there are many things that can demand your time and attention. To manage your time well, you need to figure out what is most important to you. Imagine you are a student who loves playing soccer and also wants to get good grades. You might be invited to many parties and events, but you need to be brave enough to say no to some of those invitations. Politely and confidently, you can tell your friends that you need to focus on your studies and soccer practice. The reason you can say no to these fun invitations is because you have a strong and clear motivation inside you—a "bigger yes." This bigger yes is your success in school and soccer. Think of it like having a light inside you that guides you towards your goals, giving you the strength to avoid things that can distract you. When you know what really matters to you, it’s easier to make good choices and stay on the path to achieving your dreams. By staying true to your top priorities, you can reach your goals and feel satisfied with the decisions you’ve made.
