"Vous devez décider quelles sont vos plus hautes priorités et avoir le courage de dire non à d'autres choses agréablement, en souriant, sans vous excuser. Et la façon de le faire est d'avoir un plus grand oui qui brûle à l'intérieur."

Stephen Covey

Simplified Meaning:

To focus on what matters most in life, you need to first figure out what those top priorities are. Imagine you are a student deciding between studying for an important test or attending a party. If getting good grades is your top priority, you must confidently choose studying, even if it means saying no to going out with friends. Picture having a clear and strong reason, like wanting to get into a good college, that motivates you to stick to your choice. This inner motivation makes it easier to turn down distractions because you know your goal is more important. In everyday life, this means saying no to things that don't help you reach your bigger goals, without feeling bad about it. By doing so, you stay focused and move closer to what you truly want.
