A(2024·山东潍坊)
A friend advises me to say “no” more often so I can fix my eyes on what matters most. Personally, I've used his advice to great advantage. 1 I've noticed a few areas where people hesitate (犹豫) to say “yes”. Here's what I suggest you say YES to:
Say “yes” to challenges.
2 Why add any more challenge to your life than you already have? Although there are a few challenges you might have good reasons to say “no” to, say “yes” to the challenges that stretch and grow you. My dad has wisely pointed out that I may do best when in a challenging situation. Challenges can bring out the best in you.

It's true that too much fun can be frivolous (无聊的). However, in some cases, it is also easy to get so focused on our work that we forget to enjoy it and have fun. Sometimes you can have fun, but you can make the situation fun by the attitude and energy you bring to it.
Say “yes” to opportunities (机会).
Put yourself in the place full of opportunities. Sometimes the opportunity finds you, but more often you have to search for it. 4 Communicate with people who are making things happen. And when you do find an opportunity, don't pass it by because of laziness.
A. Say “yes” to fun.
B. Saying “no” is a skill but so is saying “yes”.
C. Join groups that challenge and encourage you.
D. It's easy to think you're not able to deal with it.
E. Improving relationships is always something good to say “yes” to.
