I did this yes man thing for 14 days. I had to say yes to breaking up with the love of my life -> my girlfriend of 2 years, I had to sleep with 5 people, I had to give little kids cigarettes, I had to get wasted and swear at old people in church. Then I got the crap beat out of me. And worst of all….I had to write all these lies on this site. None of this actually happened…but what if it did. You’d all feel SO bad. Oh and by the way, I actually did this challenge. It made me realize I have been missing out on a lot of fun, and my life style did take a good turn. However, I am A student and have summers off. So it was all good.

I was a yesman for three days until I found myself in a parkingly lot drinking a twelve pack in broad daylight at a tattoo expo, when I found my new friends asking me to get a tattoo. I wanted one, but I broke and said no because I have strong feelings about this. In retrospect I would have gotten it, and I think the only way now I can go and continue having the time of my life is to go out and get this tattoo. But what do I get, and where? I’ve never liked anything enough to want it on my body permanently, and well, I like my body. What the hell do I do?

Thanks for y0ur post. I like this movie to. It was through a friend of a friend, who recommended me this movie this time last year. Like yourself i like the message too.

I said yes to accompanying and to giving direction to a friend who was driving for the first time beyond the local suburb today. For my friend it was a big deal to go outside her comfort zone.
I am glad I said yes to help my friend, because I have helped my friend to build confidence when driving.

Also, I convinced my friend to say yes, to watching YES MAN today. It was a movie i have told my friend to watch for more than a year, and finally my friend has seen it. Again, I am glad that my friend said yes, because watching this film has given my friend more confidence to do things that my friend would not normally do.

Some friends just needs some support and encouragement. I like giving my friends reasons/benefits on why they should…for eg. go out/see this movie etc.
sometimes that helps a person who is comfortably in their zone/or are affraid of changes…to reconsider.

Well, it depends. As long as you are not inflicting anyone pain, psychical as mental, I say go for it. Are you thinking about anything in particular?

Hi Stefan!
Love this new design of your blog. You’re right about the excuses that people use as a cover. I’d like to take that challenge but should I say yes to things that are against my fundamental principles? I’m afraid I can’t but of course I want to know how great this life and world can be if I say yes to (almost) all offers.
Cheers!
P.S. : Good luck with your 365-post-in-365-days ambition! I’m working on it, too! Google loves frequently updated blogs, so I heard.

I actually do say yes to her, I was just being sarcastic , she is only 4 and a quarter is like winning the lottery to her….

The movie is truly worth watching again. Just remember to avoid telling your friends about it or they might take advantage of it and force you into running naked, etc. I’m looking forward to hear how it goes.

I’m afraid of this challenge, but I’m going for it and I’ll let you know how it goes. By the way I really love the movie, so much that I’ll watch it again now

I would actually go all the way and also say yes to your daughter. How much money can she spend in a two week period? There might come something great out of it. I also recommend you to watch the Yes Man-movie before or after your challenge. You might get a different point of view after watching it.

Does that mean I have to say yes every time my daughter wants money?

Really, it is a good tactic, I may play along with you and see what happens (well except for the $$ questions from my daughter!)
