It's one thing to be flexible, but it's quite another to let someone else take advantage of your kindness! Today, speak up if you are feeling like a doormat. It's sad but true that sometimes the only way to get respect is to demand it. In a public situation, you might feel too scared to make a scene, but who says you have to? There's no need to yell or get upset. A quiet word to the right person will get you all the satisfaction you need. Display the maturity that others lack.
