Once in my earlier years,

I was far from ideal and average, but that did not alter the fact that I was a human.

I was intimidated into making a decision, so I started by saying "No."

Before my class teacher taught me, I had no idea how powerful a term it was.

I started using it and it consciously turned into a habit.

Just like I said, However, the new word was not what made the tormentors fearful.

However, not with standing my assurance in using such phrase.

You don't need to go out of your way to please anyone but yourself.

Pay attention to it.
