If I were to make a top 10 hardest words in each language, the word my number one pick. It is also one of the shortest. This simple sound has destroyed countless career; it has driven the people into the depths of the depression, and it has broken many hopeful hearts. It is horrible, ugly word “No”.
“No” is each salesperson nightmare. “No” has rejected lover into vindictive maniacs. And like all parents tell you “No” that cutest child can turn into a manipulative Monster unyielding.In fact, these two-letter word can is so destructive; a case for it because of the damage from our vocabulary are banned it over time done try I can predict what would say our linguists: “No”.
REALITY TV
In the United States, the nation is gerade.Ich another season of “America got talent” too bad the three judges, by an endless parade of geriatric Bauchtänzerinnen-tone deaf Whitney Houston Wannabees, drag queen contortionists and hip-hoppers with egos bigger than its beefed up physiques sit. And all of you believe that you the next big Act that are beating Vegas Strip, worthy of a million dollars. Can all I think of is: who opened this loony… and who will close it?

He steps up to the microphone; arises in the world and begins, rubbing his hands together. This better be good! Next what we hear, is a noise which can only be described as someone to break wind to the tune of “America the beautiful”. Yes, we are blown right away!
The audience begins to shout; judges hammer on their red buttons and moments later, our handy hero is crushed and crumbled under the weight of humiliation that librarian will haunt him for the rest of his life.
BIG EGO, NO TALENT
Lesson number two: know your strengths! Small fish in the pond play better want to bring something special to the table; otherwise, the big fish you have for lunch.
