Being daring to say ‘no'. Not in the negative sense of the word, where one rejects anything and everything just so that he can have the easy way out. Saying ‘no' to things that is not right, saying ‘no' to what you should not commit, saying ‘no' to the norm. Warren Buffet is headstrong yet flexible and that is how he sees the path to success, knowing his limits and learning to say ‘no'.
