  • that outfit is baller!

  • ignorethedoor.ca and then go to gallery and type in "the face!" That's how you say no. If you like that, then vote for me please =)

  • Well, this explains why Kubrick was such a great Film Director. He said 'no to accepting the 126th take and insisted the actors do take 127 in order to get his movie right!

  • A girl @ school keeps asking me if she could look in my bag only once I let her see my bag but I'm like WTF!?!?! Cuz she asks me everyday (no she doesn't steal anythin I wud know) & I keep saying no but she won't stop omg!

  • I'm really having problems saying NO. For most of the time or the 1st time they ask, 93% of my answer is YES. LOL! Then after a few minutes or an hour I would then regret saying YES wish I just said NO. How do I deal with this?

  • Great video! William does a great job of explaining how we can use the true power of the word "no". Powerful stuff!

    Humanity is not better off with fools in the mix...But the economy is..Americans are conditioned from birth to be over consumers for that reason....Deception is not required when selling things to people who make poor decisions....You may consider preying upon such people as dishonest...I dont see anything wrong with it.....Everything in nature is based on the balance between predator and prey...The sheep have their place in circle of life.

  • @timetodepop

    I see your point

    But I don't think plain decisions like Yes or No will ultimately split stupid from smart

    I believe its just the basic roots of business strategy

    True deception can bring you money if the customer is some how stupid

    But really is humanity better with fools and intelligent deceivers ?

  • @sukarestu

    Fortunately...they are....Lets hope that never changes....If the majority of people ever developed the level of self esteem and confidence that is required to say NO to the things they know they should say NO to...The economy would tank completely...think about it for a minute.

  • Oh god he got money from summarising decisions of simple as Yes or No?

    Fuck i hope people aren't that stupid
