Being assertive is a situation where we deny for something or be very straight forward by being polite at the same time.Because there can be a situation where we can’t make happy everyone just by obeying them because there is a saying if we are doing some act, it will make some people happy and some people angry. If there is any adverse situation we can tackle the circumstances by assertive but if we got short tempered and use perverse word in case we lost our mind ,become out of control,then it may cause loss to ourself and damage to our image in public. We can’t say anything paradoxically. Although everyone have their fringe opinion ,we can’t react without thinking. For instance, if our friends insisting us for hangout with them and we have important work of our job,we can be assertive at that time. But we shouldn’t forget we can’t be assertive every time we may loss our bonding with near and dear ones. Being assertive is being straightforward but not rude but polite. This shows how we are mature and understandable to face the situation because we can’t bruise anyone’s sentiments. This is just a tactic to sort out the problem at time not a behaviour or nature of someone because these days all we have lot of aim ,dreams,objectives,targets and we can’t be anyone to be granted for the sake of others every time.
Best example of this in corporate world,if a junior has been given so many projects and his seniors are giving them more projects to be conpleted he can say “Sir/Ma’am, I have already so many projects to complete,let me complete some of them ,then I’ll take more projects from you but being in a very polite manner , he should not refuse to them,it may be considered offensive by the boss and relation may take turn in wrong side which is too bad for employee. Even not only juniors but sometimes seniors alse be assertive because if they will do like ‘Bossgiri’ and be rude to the employees then it will create chaos and anarchy in the workplace. So must consider pros and cons of everything coming out of our actions. If we’ll be assertive everytime it’ll become impossible to get our work done everytime because assertiveness is not good always,it can affect our relationship with people in society. So, we can’t go to any length just to clear our roadblocks.
