We have seen many threads that we have praised our cultural diversity, Nepalipan, etc. in a very colorful way. Being in the West, I have realized that not being able to say NO has hindered myself in many circumstances compare to "Khaires". I simply cannot say NO, particularly if anybody request me. However, internally, I feel like sometimes that I am driven by others than being proactive. How is this? Is it beneficial to say "Yes" or is this Yes Nepali tradition is a culture or an individual characteristics (e.g. myself). However, I have generalized as culture, because I have found other colleagues of mine also mentioning about Yes issues. Could anybody suggest any tips to improve this yes issue.
