An Apple Mango and on Being Assertive

I don't know how will be I able to connect the title with my blog but just the same, I will try....

I crunched half of an apple mango after my super late beef steak dinner upon arriving from my shift @ quarter past twelve last night.

Coz you see, I've got this cravings for something just before my period starts but hell, who would want to know bout it, ayt?

According to Gen, our trainor, one of the things that we should learn bout being a soon to be 'entertainment consultants' is to be assertive.

It's like having a bag (slowly getting off with my 'mother hen' title.I am now tagged as 'bag lady!) full of confidence.

He asked us to take this assertiveness test & I scored 70%. Not bad, huh!

Are you a human doormat? Do you say "yes" when you mean "no"?
Do you keep your opinions to yourself for fear of upsetting or starting an argument with others?
Assertiveness is the ability to formulate and communicate one's own thoughts, opinions and wishes in a clear, direct and non-aggressive way.
When we were babies, vulnerable & unable to defend ourselves from the dangers of the world, it's our parents who protect us.
Slowly, with time, experience and the right guidance, we learn to stand on our own two feet, both literally & in another very important way - we learn to look out for ourselves.
We begin to realize that we have some power over what happens to us and if we don't speak up for our personal personal rights, it's very seldom that someone else will.
