I am a science teacher in a government school. Initially, when I joined school, many senior teachers used to help me by giving me experience of different activities at school. It was good for me. But I found that sometimes I became so busy in school that I started missing my lunch. At that junction, I realized that I must learn the art of politely saying#no.
After one year of my stay at school, I became a little bold and started communicating with senior teachers about my boundaries to help students. I said, "Sir, shortage of time will #not permit me to help the student at a particular phase. "
Sometimes it was difficult to help my colleagues reach their destination through my car driver, as my driver has limitations of #not being very well versed with different routes of the city. In that case, I will say #no and clearly explain the situation to the person who has made his/her request.
Once, my senior teacher requested that I change my class with him. I politely explained to him that this change is #not possible, as for this arrangement to be possible, one has to take permission from the principal madam.
Once, my neighbor requested me water his plants in his absence. I politely explained," I can water your plants, sir, twice a week . Every day watering your plants is beyond my #resources ".
Above mentioned are examples in my life where I started learning the art of saying "no".
Moral - Before entertaining one's request for help, one should be aware of one's time and resources and limitation. So, according to the same, one should draw one's boundaries.
