Being Assertive - Helps you saying 'NO'oo....

I have come to know that there are three types of behaviors/Attitudes in general

  1. Passive 
  2. Aggressive
  3. Assertive
Passive - "You Win" though "I Lose"

Aggressive - "I should Win" though you Win or Not

Assertive - "You Win" - " I Win"

Lets discuss the three attitudes with the help of a small story....

There is a village named Life and there are three passengers who are passing through this village to reach their destination city named Success, the three passengers are Pass (Passive), Agg (Aggressive) and Ass (Assertive).

They begin their journey without knowing one and other from a place called The Unknown, it is known that it takes one full day and night to cross the village and reach the destination if a perfect and planned journey is carried out. And none of the passengers is aware of the plan to be followed to reach safely. Each passenger is tested by the people during the journey to test his ability to reach the city. (The destination cannot be reached without proper instructions from the villagers). Let us see who out of the three will be the first one to reach the city of.

Pass is the first one to begin the journey and he has a bag to carry food and water so that they will be sufficient for him till next day and journey started as he passed the way he found an old man (who was waiting for a passenger to help him do a work as his name was Lazy), Pass saw the old man sitting there and asked him for the route which helps him in reaching 'Success' while the Lazy asked him to help him doing a work of plucking fruits from his tree after which he wishes to tell the route, the dawn sets on still Pass has not finished even half of the work which he has agreed to do while the old man offers him the night to stay in his house and will tell him once he completes the whole work assigned to him and he asks Pass to set up his bed for him to go to sleep though it pinches Pass but he still does that work.

Next day he continues the work but as soon as he has finished that work the old man treats him with little praise for some time and gives him another work Pass tries to confront Lazy 'Passive aggresively' means in this way (Pass to Lazy) - " I cannot do all this work as I am getting late to reach my destination" Lazy replies "I will not tell you the route unless you complete this work" as Pass wants to impress/please Lazy, he shoulders even that work (to be continued...)
