Being
firm with people may not be easy, but it can be a greater gift than
being the nice guy all the time. You may have experienced friends to
whom you give and give, who do not seem to appreciate what you do. If
your offers of help are doing no apparent good, it is time to put your
energy elsewhere. You may risk not being liked in the short run, but in
the long run you will gain from following this higher wisdom.
