Can't Say No
It never fails. The moment I get ten million assignments and have my perfect plan on how to complete them all in a timely manner, folks always come with the extra stuff they'd like me to do for them. Ok, so this is the last week of classes. I have a project due on Thursday, an online final to complete by Dec. 9th, and an in-class final on Dec. 11th. Thursday's project required a LOT of work, which I don't mind at all because the assignment is fun, but like I said, it's a LOT of work. I've noticed that the more people watch me work, they figure I don't have enough work to do and MUST ask me to do something for them as well. Don't get me wrong, I love to help my fellow man, but when I'm working on serious projects and folks come with their extra work and THEIR deadlines, my heart begins to beat a little faster. BUT, I figured out why they do it.....because they know I won't say no. As much as my brain is screaming, "WHAT THE HELL? I HAVE MY OWN WORK TO DO!" I hear my mouth saying, "Sure, I'll do it." My brain and my heart are at war. I just have to laugh at myself. BUT, I can't complain because when I help others reach their deadlines, Allah (swt) always blesses me to successfully meet my own. It never fails, and for that, I am grateful.
