Being assertive involves direct communication of one’s observations, opinions, feelings and needs. It involves action and initiation, openness to negotiation and compromise, and the ability to say/act “yes†and “no†with firmness and commitment. When being assertive, you convey an air of confidence, strength, and willingness to communicate openly and honestly about yourself, your perspectives, your feelings and your wishes – without whining, pouting, guilt trips, blaming, avoiding, or attacks. Assertive persons assume responsibility for themselves and their experiences.
That truth being said, here's how it went. I spent a good deal of time having a good deal of a time and found out that everything that I like to do is either immoral, illegal, or fattening. I decided to get "serious" and join the rat race and started my own engineering contracting gig. I made millions, got ripped off by those I trusted, got sick, then almost died. All in all, it was an inspiration for a lot of music. Now my buddies and I are recording a second CD and I'm making dough writing a cookbook.
