In the bustling office of TechCorp, Lisa worked tirelessly.
Anna: Lisa, all these reports need to be finished by tomorrow morning. Could you help me?
Lisa: Of course, Anna! No problem!
Lisa's dedication was inspiring, but soon, others began to rely on her kindness.
Peter: Lisa, could you help me with this presentation?
Lisa: [nods] Sure, Peter.
Lisa's performance began to falter. Her energy waned, and her productivity started to drop.
Boss: Lisa, your performance has been slipping lately. What's going on?
Lisa: [sighs] I don't want to let anyone down. I try to help everyone...
Boss: [smiling gently] Lisa, your heart is in the right place, but you need to learn to say no. You can't pour from an empty cup.
Worker: Lisa, can you—
Lisa: [kindly] I'm sorry, but I need to focus on my own tasks first.
Lisa learned that saying no didn't make her less kind. It made her stronger.
Remember, everyone needs to learn to say no without feeling guilty. After all, even the busiest office worker needs rest.
