I just saw the new movie Yesman! and it really made me think about my life. Do I really live to the fullest and use the every opportunity my life presenting me? I think that we are scared of a lot of things in our lives and it stops us from enjoying our life. What do you think?

It depends on the opportunity if you ask me. Last week, I got an opportunity to work, and though I wanted it, it wouldn't help me because I would have to lift heavy stuff and such. Made me mad because I didn't think the job entailed that. But if it's something that is ethical, I can improve my situation and such, I am not mad at it. I don't mind.

I'm not scared of much, and I do say 'yes' at every opportunity. With a handicap, its even more important to not lock yourself away from life... its too easy to end up alone while others move on. Whether I feel up to it or not, I will say 'yes' to new experiences as often as I can and for as long as I can.

when i was younger and i have no kids i would say yes. in every single opportunity that came to my life. i was 18 years old when i first joined a band and went abroad for singing. and for me it add a good feather to my hat. now that i am a mom of four and a single mom i considere it first before grabbing it. it is hard to be a mom and a dad at the same time.

depends on what kind of opportunity it is.....if its really worth not losing, and it doesn't harm anyone and is giving something special to me then i don't let it go.....if it is right i am not scared of anyone, but it should be right atleast in my view..

I haven't seen this movie either ,but I think this movie supposed to a good movie ,I will have a look ..hehe.. I do agree with what you said ,Most of the time the problems we have confronted in our life have been magnified by us ,then after a few days we will find out that the problem is not that hard as we have originally estimated ..Actually ,it is not the difficulties that comes ou way ,what really natters is our attitude towards them ...in that case we will say "Yes,I can do that"to every opportunity ..

Hi soleya! I haven't seen the new movie Yesman yet. But to answer your question if I live my life to the fullest and use the every opportunity that comes knocking at my door..well, I don't think so. I do take risks but not all the time. There are times that I feel scared just to go through the risk and grab the opportunity. I admit that I have a lot of fears which stops me from grabbing some opportunities. Take care and have a nice day! lovelots..faith210

No. I sure don't. I have to know if it is valid and if it will work well for me or not. I do try alot of new opportunities after checking out their validation.

If I'm just scared, I'll say yes. But I think about all the reasons why I want to say no first and if they are legitimate I will refuse the opportunity. I heard that movie is fairly good but has some icky moments. I wish Jim Carey would do more drama, he's a really wonderful dramatic actor.

I don't say yes to everything, sometimes because i'm scared or simply because i don't have the finance to do it.

I have not seen the movie yet, only heard about it through certain vines, however I can vouch for myself by saying that I don't take every opportunity. I see the world as a black sky filled with stars. There are times you can reach out and take a star, and other times when you can't, it depends on the situation. If I could pull every star out of the sky, what would be left for someone else who needed it more?
