Yes Man - Movie
Date: 10th October 2022
Just finished watching Yes Man.
It’s about a guy who never used to say Yes to anything. Hang out with friends? No. Attend workshops? Nope. Date anybody? Nope. He didn’t wanna get out of his comfort zone.
Until he attended a workshop which made/ forced him to say ‘Yes’ to everything that comes his way. So now every opportunity, party, event, etc he’s invited to – he must say Yes. And so he did.
Before I started watching the movie I had in my mind that it isn’t good to say Yes to everything. But somewhere or the other when Carl started saying Yes to everything, his life suddenly became exciting and adventurous. I mean, he was into so many things. He learned so many things. He got to explore so many things. Something I’m always up for. And this made me question whether he won’t end up in some kind of trouble if he keeps saying Yes to everything. He did:)
Eventually, his Yeses put him in a black hole where all he could do was agree on everything which eventually made things worse in all aspects of his life. But at the end of the movie, he eventually understood when to say Yes and when to say No.
Moral:- Saying No is as important as saying Yes. Know what’s at priority. Of course, your Yeses are gonna take you somewhere new, but don’t forget what’s important. Know when to say Yes and when to say No.
