oprah.com, write oprahSo I decided to check out Oprah.com to see what the latest buzz was on the website.  I saw some interesting articles, including one about a 300 pound plus teenager who wants gastric bypass surgery, but the one that really caught my eye was called "The Power of No".

I found this article to be really humorous.  It has scenarios for a lot of the situations we are forced to lie or put on a smile during each day.  One example is of the friend who asks you "Do I look good in this?"  Then this situation is broken down into two scenarios:  is the friend has not bought the outfit and if it has already been purchased.  If the friend is trying it on for the first time, Oprah.com says to tell them  they look great, but the outfit does not look right.  But if they have already purchased the clothes, tell them you like it, but prefer one of their old outfits.  Now when she comes out in a bad outfit, I'm going to write Oprah and tell her I like her old look better :).

Although it was a bit funny, the ideas were actually very creative, professional ways to deal with those annoying situations in life.  I would recommend checking this Oprah.com article out and do not tell me no.
